Procedure

The product was prepared according to the general procedure for aminopyrazole synthesis (route A1) from pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (3.0 g, 21.9 mmol, 1.0 eq). The crude was precipitated from HCl to give the title product as a solid (2.2 g, yield: 69%) which was used directly for the next step.
