Hydrogen Bromide → 1H-Pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid, 3-bromo-1-(3-chloro-2-pyridinyl)-4,5-dihydro-, ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 1-(3-chloro-2-pyridinyl)-4,5-dihydro-3-[(phenylsulfonyl)oxy]-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate (i.e. the product of Step A) (1.0 g, 2.44 mmol) in acetic acid (4 mL) was added to a solution of hydrogen bromide in acetic acid (33%, 1.2 g, 4.89 mmol). After about 1 h the reaction mixture was added to saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (100 mL). The mixture was then extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 mL), and the combined extracts were dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to provide the title product as an oil (0.69 g, 85% yield), which slowly crystallized. The 1H NMR spectrum was the same as reported for the product of Example 1, Step C.
