Reaction Steps

To a 100 mL sealed flask was added 1-ethyl-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (2.61 g, 11.74 mmol), potassium carbonate (3.25 g, 23.48 mmol), methyl 4-bromo-5-chloro-2-furancarboxylate (1.85 g, 8.33 mmol) and bis(tri-t-butylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.16 g, 0.31 mmol) in 1,2-Dimethoxyethane (DME) (30 mL) and H2O (5 mL). After stirring for 2 h at 75° C., the reaction solution was diluted with DCM (100 mL) and washed with H2O. The organic layer was dried Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified on silica gel [EtOAc/hexanes, 10-30%] to give the product (0.8 g, 50.1%) as an off-white solid: LC-MS (ES) m/z 255 (M+H)+.
