Nitrogen → 4-Bromo-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A sealable tube was charged with 4-bromopyrazole (4.000 g, 27.2 mmol), 1-iodobenzene (3.64 ml, 32.7 mmol), (+/−)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (0.654 ml, 5.44 mmol), Copper iodide (I) (0.518 g, 2.72 mmol), potassium carbonate (8.28 g, 59.9 mmol) and 13 mL dioxane added. The mixture was blanketed with N2, the vessel sealed and heated to 100 C for 16 h. The mixture was allowed to cool to rt, diluted with EtOAc, washed with water, and an emulsion formed. The organic layer separated and the aqueous emulsion mixture was filter through a pad of celite and rinsed with EtOAc, and sat. NaHCO3. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporate. The mixture was purified via flash chromatography using a 0% to 100% CH2Cl2 in hexanes gradient. The title compound was collected as a yellow solid (3.18 g)
