Reaction Steps

A mixture of tBuOH (1.5 mL), water (1.5 mL), 2-(bromomethyl)pyridine (253 mg, 1 mmol), 1-ethynyl-4-methylbenzene (122 mg, 1.05 mmol) and NaN3 (68 mg, 1.05 mmol) was added to a microwaveable vial. A cooper wire (50 mg) and CuSO4 (200 μl of 1M aq. solution) was added to the stirred suspension. The vial was sealed and the mixture was irradiated (Microwave, Personnal Chemistry, Biotage from Upsala sweeden) at 125° C. for 5 min. The mixture was then diluted with water and the product was extracted to EtOAc, washed with 1M ammonium citrate, 0.25 M aq. HCl and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated. The crude product was purified on silica gel (Eluent: 10% MeOH in DCM) to give 2-((4-p-Tolyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl) methyl)pyridine (88 mg, 35%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, dMSO): δ 2.30 (s, 3H), 5.72 (s, 2H), 7.30-7.45 (m, 4H), 7.77-7.89 (m, 3H), 8.60 (s, 1H); MS (M+H, 251).
