Reaction Steps

A 100-mL round-bottom flask was charged with a solution of 4-(tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (265 mg, 1.37 mmol), acetonitrile (40 mL), 2-(bromomethyl)pyrazine dihydrochloride (500 mg, 2.03 mmol) and cesium carbonate (2.23 g, 6.84 mmol). The resulting mixture stirred overnight at 70° C. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by preparative thin layer chromatography (eluting with 2:1, ethyl acetate/petroleum ether) to afford 2-[[4-(tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]methyl]pyrazine (0.12 g, 31%) as red oil.
