Procedure: To a stirred solution of 4-iodo-1H-pyrazole (337 mg, 1.737 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was added sodium hydride (104 mg, 2.61 mmol). After 30 min, 5-bromo-1,1,1-trifluoropentane (427 mg, 2.085 mmol) was added. The reaction was stirred at rt for 2 h. 3:1 hexane:ether and water were added. The organic layer was washed with H2O, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (24 g silica gel, eluted with 0-60% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the desired product (460 mg, 83%) as clear oil. LCMS Anal.
