Potassium Carbonate → 2-Furancarboxylic acid, 4-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-, methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 4-bromo-2-furancarboxylate (470 mg, 2.29 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.58 g, 11.46 mmol), 1-methyl-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (525 mg, 2.52 mmol) [prepared according to Preparation 7] and bis(tri-t-butylphosphine)palladium(0) (58.6 mg, 0.115 mmol) in 1,4-Dioxane (9.5 ml) and water (1.9 ml) was stirred at 80° C. in a sealed tube for 1 h. The solution was partitioned between H2O-DCM and the aqueous phase was washed several times with DCM. The combined organic fractions were dried over Na2SO4, concentrated and purified via column chromatography (30% EtOAc in hexanes) affording methyl 4-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-2-furancarboxylate (124 mg, 0.60 mmol, 26% yield) as a white powder: LCMS (ES) m/e 206 (M+H)+.
