Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 5-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid (1 g, 7.8 mmol) and 2-bromomalonaldehyde (1.2 g, 7.8 mmol) in an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid (6 M, 20 mL) was heated at 95° C. for 15 minutes. The resulting mixture was cooled to room temperature and the solid formed was collected by filtration, rinsed with water and dried in vacuum oven to give 6-bromo-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylic acid.
