Sodium Carbonate → 1-Benzyl-4-bromo-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Benzyl-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile (3.38 g, 17.1 mmol) was treated with potassium acetate (2.35 g, 24.0 mmol) and bromine (3.01 g, 18.9 mmol) in glacial acetic acid (48 mL) according to the method described in Part F of Examples 1-4. After the 2 M aqueous sodium carbonate was added in the work-up, a white solid was isolated by filtration and washed with water to yield 4.49 g of 1-benzyl-4-bromo-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile.
