Hydrogen Bromide → 5-Amino-3-bromo-1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)pyrazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-amino-4-carboethoxy-3-chloro-1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-pyrazole (3.3 g), hydrobromic acid (45%; 30 ml) and acetic acid (50 ml) was boiled under flux for 18 h. The mixture was evaporated to low bulk and basified with sodium hydroxide solution (2M), and the product was filtered off, dried (2.9 g) and recrystallized from a mixture of ethanol and water to give 5-amino-3-bromo-1- (2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-pyrazole (2.5 g), m.p. 132.5-134° C. in the form of a colorless solid.
