Bromocyclopentane → 1-Cyclopentyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole

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), cyclopentyl bromide (46 mg, 0.31 mmol, Aldrich, Cat. No. C115207), and cesium carbonate (250 mg, 0.77 mmol) in acetonitrile (1 mL) was stirred at 90° C. for 2 hours. After cooling it was quenched with water, extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, brine; dried over Na2SO4. After filtration the filtrate was concentrated to yield 40 mg of the product which was directly used in the next step reaction without further purification. LCMS (M+H)+: m/z=263.3
