3-bromopyrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazine (100 mg, 0.50 mmol)
in 1,4-dioxane (1 mL) were added bis(pinacolato)diboron (141 mg, 0.56
mmol), [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II),
complex with CH2Cl2 (21 mg, 0.03 mmol), and
potassium acetate (99 mg, 1.01 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated
to 90 °C and stirred for 16 h. The reaction mixture was filtered
through celite and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude
was purified using flash silica column chromatography on an Isco Combiflash
system (12 g silica, elution with 0–50% EtOAc/petroleum ether
gradient). Desired fractions were combined and concentrated under
reduced pressure. The crude was purified using flash silica column
chromatography on an Isco Combiflash system (12 g silica, elution
with 0–50% 20% MeOH in CH2Cl2/CH2Cl2 gradient) to afford the title compound, 3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)pyrazolo[1,5-b]pyridazine,
(30 mg, 0.12 mmol, 23% yield). Rf 0.38 (EtOAc/petroleum ether 1:1); mp 160–162 °C; 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δH 8.53 (dd, J = 4.4, 1.9 Hz, 1H), 8.27 (dd, J = 9.0, 1.9 Hz, 1H), 8.23 (s, 1H), 7.34 (dd, J = 9.0, 4.4 Hz, 1H), 1.30 (s, 12H); LC-MS (ESI): calculated for C12H17BN3O2 [M + H]+ is 246.1, found 246.1 [M + H]+.
