Naphthalene → 1-Naphthalen-2-ylmethyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

The 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (0.10 g, 0.00052 mol) was combined with naphthalene, 2-(bromomethyl)- (0.12 g, 0.00057 mol) in ACN (3.0 mL, 0.057 mol) under nitrogen at rt. Then cesium carbonate (0.50 g, 0.0015 mol) was added and the reaction was complete after stirring for 1 h. This was partitioned between ethyl acetate and brine. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to give 1-(2-naphthylmethyl)-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole 0.17 gm, as an oil, LC/MS (M+H)+: 335, 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.89 (s, 1H), 7.79-7.84 (m, 3H), 7.69 (bs, 2H), 7.49-7.4 (m, 2H), 7.46-7.33 (m, 1H), 5.47 (s, 2H), 1.31 (s, 12H).
