Bromine → 4-bromo-1-(2-methoxyethyl)-5-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ylmethyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium acetate (3.12 g, 31.7 mmol) and bromine (2.84 g, 17.7 mmol) were sequentially added to a solution of 1-(2-methoxyethyl)-5-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ylmethyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile (3.16 g, 12.7 mmol) in acetic acid (25 mL). The reaction was stirred for 16 hours at room temperature. Saturated aqueous sodium hydrogensulfite was added until the reaction became colorless. Water was added, and a precipitate formed, was isolated by filtration, washed with water, and dried on the vacuum filter funnel to provide 3.78 g of 4-bromo-1-(2-methoxyethyl)-5-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ylmethyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile as a white solid containing about 2 mol % acetic acid.
