Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(6-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)-5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (1.4 g, 5.8 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL) is treated with N-bromosuccinamide (1 g, 5.6 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The mixture is diluted with ethyl acetate and washed three times with water, once with brine, dried (sodium sulfate), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to yield the title compound, 1.5 g (94%), as light yellow solid.
