Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, a mixture of (1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)methanol (200 mg), 2-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (389 mg), palladium(II) acetate (40 mg), cesium carbonate (870 mg), rac-2-(di-t-butylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (71 mg) and toluene (9.0 mL) was stirred at 100° C. for 2.5 hours. Thereafter, the reaction solution was diluted with diethyl ether, and was then filtrated with Celite. The filtrate was concentrated under a reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel cartridge, hexane:ethyl acetate=85:15 to 50:50), so as to obtain the title compound (310 mg) in the form of a light yellow oily substance.
