Methyl iodide → 1,5-Dimethyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Methyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (0.3 g, 1.442 mmol) and potassium carbonate (0.996 g, 7.21 mmol) were suspended in acetonitrile (10 ml) and stirred overnight at RT. Additional iodomethane (0.5 ml) was added and the mixture was stirred overnight at RT. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc and the inorganic salts were removed by filtration. The filtrate was evaporated to yield an inseparable mixture (2:1) of 1,3-dimethyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole and 1,5-dimethyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (0.267 g, 83% yield). MS (ESI) m/z: 223.1 (M+H+).
