Ethyl bromoacetate → ethyl 3,5-dichloro-1H-pyrazole-1-acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 3,5-dichloro-1H-pyrazole (690 mg, 5.0 mmol) (i.e. the product of Example 12, Step D), potassium carbonate (3 g, 21 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) was treated with ethyl bromoacetate (1.0 mL, 9.0 mmol) and stirred at ambient temperature for 12 h. The suspension was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, and dried over MgSO4. The reaction mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure giving 1.05 g of the title compound. This compound was of sufficient purity to use in subsequent reactions.
