Hydrogen Bromide → 4-(5-Chloro-1,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-2-methylphenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-chloro-3-(4-methoxy-3-methyl-phenyl)-1,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole (described in Reference Preparation example 92) 0.4 g, 47% hydrobromic acid 3 ml and acetic acid 3 ml was stirred with heating under reflux for fifteen hours. The solvent was distilled off and to the resulting residues was added ethyl acetate 20 ml, and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for one hour. The precipitates were filtered and were washed with hexane, and were concentrated under reduced pressure to give 4-(5-chloro-1,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-2-methyl-phenol 0.3 g.
