Reaction Steps

To 2-Chloro-4-[1-sec-butyl-3-(5-chloro-2-thienyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]pyridine (0.57 mmol) was added slowly 0.5 mL of a 33% solution hydrobromic acid in acetic acid. The resulting mixture was stirred in the microwave at 140° C. for 20 min. After cooling to room temperature, potassium carbonate (2 molar solution) was added and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (hepthane:ethyl acetate 5:1 to 2:1) to afford 178 mg of 2-bromo-4-[1-sec-butyl-3-(5-chloro-2-thienyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]pyridine (79% yield).
