Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2 g of pyrazole, 4.34 g of 2,3-dichloropyridine, 9.58 g of cesium carbonate and 40 ml N,N-dimethylformamide was stirred at 100° C. for 8 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, and water was added thereto. The mixture was extracted with methyl tert-butyl ether three times. The organic layers were combined, washed successively with water and an aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to obtain 3.57 g of 3-chloro-2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine of the formula:
