Lithium iodide → 4-(5-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-methyl-6-(2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)cyclopropyl)pyrimidine

Reaction Steps

To a stirring slurry of chromium(II) chloride (630 mg, 5.12 mmol, 8.0 eq.) in dry tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) under nitrogen at 23° C. was added n,n,n′,n′-tetramethylethylenediamine (0.768 ml, 5.12 mmol, 8.0 eq.). The resulting blue reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 20 min. To the reaction mixture was added a solution of 4-(5-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-methyl-6-vinylpyrimidine (3-1, 225 mg, 0.640 mmol, 1.0.eq.) in tetrahydrofuran (2 mL) followed by a solution of 2-(dichloromethyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (270 mg, 1.281 mmol, 2.0 eq.) and lithium iodide (343 mg, 2.56 mmol, 4.0 eq) in tetrahydrofuran (2 mL). The resulting greenish blue reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 72 h. The reaction mixture was filtered, concentrated, and partitioned between ethyl acetate (100 mL) and water (100 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to afford 4-(5-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-methyl-6-(2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)cyclopropyl)pyrimidine (3-2). The crude material was carried forward with no purification. LRMS m/z (M+H) 492.5 found, 492.3 required
