Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (0.050 g, 0.26 mmol), 3-chloro-2-methylpropanenitrile (27 uL, 0.28 mmol, Aldrich, Cat. No. 150428), and cesium carbonate (250 mg, 0.77 mmol) in acetonitrile (1 mL) in a sealed reaction vial was stirred at 90° C. overnight. After cooling it was diluted with ethyl acetate. Then the organic solution was washed with water, brine; dried over Na2SO4. After filtration the filtrate was concentrated to yield 41 mg product. It was directly used in the next step reaction without further purification.
