Abstract In the course of a research program focused on the preparation of libraries of new chemical entities derived from 3-alkoxypyrazoles, we studied their N-pyridylation using 2, 3 or 4-bromopyridines. This was achieved using Cristau and Taillefer copper-catalyzed arylation method and mostly led to the 3-alkoxy-1H-pyrazol-1-yl pyridine isomer along with lesser amount of the alternative 5-alkoxy-1H-pyrazol-1-yl pyridine. The structures of these ...
