Cesium carbonate → 4-(4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole-1-propanenitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (50 mg, 0.2 mmol), 3-bromopropionitrile (23 uL, 0.28 mmol, Aldrich, Cat. No. 109231) and cesium carbonate (250 mg, 0.77 mmol) in acetonitrile (1 mL) was stirred at 90° C. overnight. After cooling, it was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water twice and brine once, dried over Na2SO4. After filtration the filtrate was concentrated to yield 55 mg of the desired product.
