Acetic Acid → HCID 178526905, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 1 L 3-neck flask equipped with a stir bar was charged with 3-nitro-1H-pyrazole (41.3 g, 365 mmol), sodium acetate (36.0 g, 438 mmol), and acetic acid (260 mL). The flask was fitted with a septum, addition funnel, and a temperature probe. Bromine (23 mL, 450 mmol) was added over 30 minutes via addition funnel to the reaction mixture; the temperature increased to 40° C. over the course of bromine addition. The heterogeneous reaction mixture became homogeneous as the reaction progressed, with the exception of a few chunks of solid. As the temperature of the reaction mixture fell, a precipitate formed. The reaction mixture was poured into 1.2 L of ice and water and stirred vigorously. After 15 minutes, the solids were collected by filtration and washed with several portions of water (500 mL total). The solids were dried under vacuum to afford the product as a tan powder (49.67 g, 71%).
