Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-methyl-1-(2-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amine (7.78 g, 41.7 mmol) in acetic acid (90 mL) was added a solution of bromine (6.64 g, 41.6 mmol) in acetic acid (10 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was basified using a cold KOH solution (1 N). The white solid, 4-bromo-3-methyl-1-(2-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amine, was collected and used in the next step without purification.
