After cooling to room temp, mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL) and washed with water (25 mL) and aqueous Na2S2O3 (25 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. Crude was then triturated with ethyl acetate/hexane to afford methyl 2-(2-(3-bromophenyl)-7-iodo-5-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-6-yl)acetate (1 g, 2.057 mmol, 81% yield) as off white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 8.20 (t, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 7.95 (dt, J=7.8, 1.3 Hz, 1H), 7.55 (ddd, J=8.0, 2.0, 1.0 Hz, 1H), 7.36 (t, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 7.08 (s, 1H), 4.02 (s, 2H), 3.79 (s, 3H), 2.66 (s, 3H).
