(2,5-Difluorophenyl)boronic acid → HCID 57516652, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Following a procedure similar to that outlined in Chem. Comm. 2004, 188-189: A solution of 2,5-difluorophenylboronic acid (47 mg, 0.30 mmol), 4-iodo-1H-imidazole (46 mg, 0.24 mmol), copper(I) chloride (1.8 mg, 0.018 mmol), and 1 mL of methanol was stirred under air at 60° C. for 3 h, then concentrated. Column chromatography (0-33% EtOAc/hexanes) afforded 14.5 mg (20%) of 1-(2,5-difluorophenyl)-4-iodo-1H-imidazole as a white solid.
