Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 4-neck round bottomed flask (500 mL) was charged with copper(I) chloride (2.51 g, 25.3 mmol), 1H-pyrazol-3-amine (15.8 g, 190 mmol), potassium carbonate (35.0 g, 253 mmol), and N,N-dimethylformamide (100 mL). The mixture was stirred under nitrogen for 10 minutes and 3-bromopyridine (12.2 mL, 127 mmol) was added. The mixture was heated at 110° C. for 18 hours, at which point HPLC analysis indicated that ˜15.5% 3-bromopyridine remained. The reaction was allowed to cool to 20° C. and concentrated to give a brown residue. Water (200 mL) was added and the resulting suspension was stirred at 20° C. for 2 hours and filtered. The solid was rinsed with water (2×50 mL) and dried to afford a pale green solid. The solid was suspended in water (200 mL) and the resulting suspension was heated at 90° C. for 2 hours and was filtered hot through a Celite® pad. The pad was rinsed with hot water (50 mL). The combined filtrates were allowed to cool to 20° C. to afford a yellow suspension, which was stirred at 20° C. for 2 hours and filtered. The solid was rinsed with water (2×50 mL) and air dried to afford the desired product as a light yellow crystalline solid (11.6 g, 57%).
