Phosphorus tribromide → HCID 44819211, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

PBr3 (0.312 mL, 3.32 mmol) was added to a solution of alcohol 67 (0.858 g, 3.32 mmol) in ether (15 mL) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 17 h, then cooled to 0° C., quenched with ice, and partitioned between CH2Cl2 and water. Column chromatography of the organic portion on silica gel (eluting with CH2Cl2) gave 3-(bromomethyl)-1-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]-1H-pyrazole (68) (0.952 g, 89%) as a white solid: mp 71-73° C.; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.84 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.69 (d, J=9.1 Hz, 2H), 7.31 (d, J=9.1 Hz, 2H), 6.54 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 4.56 (s, 2H). APCI MS m/z 321, 323 [M+H]+.
