Potassium Carbonate → tert-Butyl 2-(4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

4,4,5,5-Tetramethyl-2-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (10 g), N,N-dimethylacetamide (100 ml), potassium carbonate (17.8 g) and t-butyl bromoacetate (9.9 ml) were mixed, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hr. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite. Water and ethyl ether were added to the filtrate, and the mixture was partitioned in a separatory funnel. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl ether, and the organic layers were combined. The organic layer was washed 3 times with water and once with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, hexane (50 ml) was added to the obtained residue and the mixture was stirred. This slurry was filtered, and the obtained solid was washed with hexane, and dried under reduced pressure to give the title compound (12.23 g, 77%).
