Reaction Steps

To a flask charged with 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (1.000 g, 5.154 mmol), Cs2CO3 (2.687 g, 8.246 mmol), and 2-bromoethanol (0.5479 mL, 7.730 mmol) was added 10 mL of DMF and the flask was sealed under nitrogen and heated to 100° C. for 48 hours. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL) and stirred for 30 minutes before it was passed through a glass microfiber filter and the cake was washed with ethyl acetate. The organic was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude was then purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with a gradient of 75-100% ethyl acetate in Hexanes to afford 2-(4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)ethanol (0.4290 g, 1.622 mmol, 31.47% yield). MS (apci) m/z=239.2 (M+H).
