Procedure

To 3,4,5-tribromopyrazole (4.5 g, 0.15 mole) in 3N aqueous sodium hydroxide (6 g, 0.15 mole) is added at room temperature with stirring dimethyl sulfate (19 g, 0.15 mole). After 10 minutes a solid separates out. An additional gram of dimethyl sulfate is added and the mixture is stirred for 3 days, filtered and the precipitate water washed and air dried to yield 33 g (73%), mp 85° C. to 86° C. Crystallization from cyclohexane yields desired solid product whose melting point ranges from about 90° C. to 91° C.
