Bromine → 4-bromo-1-butyl-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Butyl-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile (6.58 g, 38 mmol) was treated with potassium acetate (57.2 mmol) and bromine (41.9 mmol) in acetic acid (50 mL) according to a modification of the method described in Part F of Examples 1-4. The reaction provided 9.3 g of 4-bromo-1-butyl-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile as a colorless oil that crystallized upon standing. The crystals were used without purification.
