Reaction Steps

K2CO3 (8.18 g, 59.2 mmol) was added to a RT solution of 2-fluoro-3-methylbenzonitrile (4.0 g, 29.6 mmol) and 1H-1,2,3-triazole (1.72 mL, 29.6 mmol) in DMF (80 mL) and the resulting suspension was heated to 120° C. for 4 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to RT and quenched with water before being extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated in vacuo to give the crude product that was purified by flash chromatography (eluting with a gradient of 33% to 50% EtOAc in hexane) to give 3-methyl-2-(2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-yl)benzonitrile as a white solid. LC-MS B: tR=0.62 min; [M+H]+=185.16.
