Acetic acid, azido-, ethyl ester → ethyl[4-(6-bromopyridin-2-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl]acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Bromo-6-ethynylpyridine (Example 465, Step 1) (350 mg, 1.92 mmol) and ethyl azidoacetate (1.08 ml, 1.92 mmol) were combined in t-BuOH (4.0 mL) and water (2.0 mL). CuSO4.5H2O (24 mg, 0.096 mmol) in water (1.0 mL) was added, followed by sodium ascorbate (76 mg, 0.39 mmol) in water (1.0 mL). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 5 h, diluted with saturated NaHCO3, and extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and evaporated to a yellow residue that was purified by flash chromatography (0-30% EtOAc/hexanes) to afford the title compound as a colorless solid.
