Cesium carbonate → 4-{[4-(4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]methyl}pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (750 mg, 0.387 mmol), 4-Chloromethyl-pyridine (740 mg, 0.581 mmol) and cesium carbonate (3.77 g, 1.16 mmol) was dissolved in acetonitrile (15 mL) was stirred overnight at room temperature. Stirring continued for 5 hrs at 60° C. and the reaction mixture was cooled, diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organics were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Column chromatography (100% Ethyl acetate-4% 2M NH3 in MeOH/CH2Cl2) provided the title compound (993 mg, 90%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.59-8.57 (m, 2H), 7.87 (s, 1H), 7.76 (s, 1H), 7.07-7.05 (m, 2H), 5.35 (s, 2H), 1.33 (s, 12H).
