Potassium Iodide → N,N-diethyl-2-(4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)ethanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (250 mg, 1.29 mmol) and sodium hydride (61.8 mg, 2.58 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran at 0° C. was added 2-bromo-N,N-diethylethanamine (558 mg, 2.58 mmol). The reaction was allowed to warm up to room temperature and was monitored by LCMS. After 90 minutes there was still no reaction and potassium iodide (1.71 g, 10.3 mmol) was added and the reaction was heated at 50° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with a large volume of ethyl acetate and water and partitioned. The organic layer containing the product was washed with brine and concentrated in vacuo to give clear thick oil confirmed by LCMS to be 100% pure N,N-diethyl-2-(4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)ethanamine (340 mg, yield 90%, M+1 294.2)
