Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-pyridyl boronic acid (1.33 g, 10.8 mmol) and 3,6-dibromopyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (3.0 g, 10.8 mmol) in DMF (300 mL) and 1M aqueous sodium bicarbonate (22 mL, 22 mmol) was degassed with nitrogen and treated with palladium tetrakistriphenylphosphine (0.63 g, 0.54 mmol) and heated to 85° C. for 16 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and partitioned between water/methylene chloride. The organics were washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo. Purification by flash chromatography (1-5% methanol/methylene chloride) gave 3-bromo-6-pyridin-3-ylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine. LC-MS EIMS: m/z 275.0 [M+H]+.
