Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of 5-amino-4-cyano-1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-trifluoromethylpyrazole (3.89 g) and bromoform (13 ml) was treated with tert-butyl nitrite (2.26 ml) at room temperature. After 15 minutes the mixture was heated to 50° C. for 1 hour, and evaporated in vacuo to yield a red oil. This was purified by chromatography on silica (Merck, 40°-230 mesh, 0.7 kg cm-2) eluting with a mixture of dichloromethane and petroleum ether (1:2) to furnish 5-bromo-4-cyano-1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-trifluoromethylpyrazole as a fawn solid m.p. 85°-87° C. (3.7 g).
