Participants

Reaction Steps

3-iodo-1H-pyrazole (503 mg, 2.6 mmol) was added as a solution in DMF (1 mL) to a 1.0 M THF solution of NaHMDS (2.9 mL, 2.9 mmol) that had been pre-cooled in an ice water bath. Additional portions of DMF (2×1 mL) were used to ensure complete transfer. 3-iodooxetane (0.41 mL, 4.7 mmol) was added in one portion and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to r.t. After 1 h, the reaction mixture was heated to 45° C. and allowed to stir for an additional 75 h. The mixture was cooled and diluted with EtOAc, and water. The aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic phase was washed with water and were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to afford a crude residue that was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-30% EtOAc in hexanes) to provide 3-iodo-1-(oxetan-3-yl)-1H-pyrazole 7.53 (414 mg). Regiochemistry was confirmed as drawn via NOE studies. LCMS-ESI+ (m/z): [M+H]+ calcd for C6H8IN2O: 251.0; found: 251.0.
