The mixture was acidified to pH=1 with concentrated hydrochloric acid and then extracted with ethyl acetate (15 mL×3). The combined organic phase was dried by sodium sulfate, and then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give 5-methyl-1-(1-phenylethyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid as a white solid (49 mg, 62%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, d6-DMSO): δ 12.16 (s, 1H), 8.26 (s, 1H), 7.37-7.25 (m, 5H), 5.55 (q, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 2.30 (s, 3H), 1.78 (d, J=6.9 Hz, 3H).
