Reaction Steps

t-Butylnitrite (84 ml, 0.662 mol) was added to a suspension of 5-amino-1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-cyano-4-trifluoromethylsulfonylpyrazole (100 g, 0.221 mol) in bromoform (320 ml). The resulting mixture was heated to 60-70° C. for 3 hours. Another portion of t-butylnitrite (84 ml, 0.662 mol) was added and the mixture stirred at 60-70° C. for a further 2.5 hours. It was then cooled, washed with hexane, hexane-toluene, and then filtered. The solid was washed with pentane and vacuum dried to give 5-bromo-1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-cyano-4-trifluoromethylsulfonylpyrazole as a yellow solid (96.69 g, 79% yield), mp 142° C.
