Bromine → 4-(4-bromo-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (Intermediate 7; 1.1 g; 7.5 mmol) in acetic acid (10 mL) was added a solution of bromine (6 mL) in acetic acid (10 mL) dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred for 4 hours, diluted with saturated aqueous Na2S2O3 (20 mL), and extracted with DCM (10 mL×3). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (20 mL), water (20 mL), brine (20 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to afford 936 mg (55%) of the title compound as a pink solid.
