Thionyl Chloride → 5-(Chloromethyl)-2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of alcohol (III) (10.5 g, 59.9 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (150 ml), SOCl2 (36 g, 22 ml, 299.6 mmol) was added and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for a period of between 12 to 18 hours. The excess SOCl2 was quenched with saturated aqueous NaHCO3. The resulting mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 and washed with brine. Removal of solvent gave a compound of formulae (11.15 g, 95% yield) as a white solid. MS-ESI=194.06, 196.06, 1H NMR (ppm): 8.59(H3′, d), 8.43(H6, d), 8.03(H2, d), 7.89(H3, dd), 7.78(H5′, s), 6.50(H4′, t), 4.65(—CH2-).
