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 3-methyl-1-(1-phenylethyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid as a white solid (60 mg, 70%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, d6-DMSO): δ 12.24 (s, 1H), 7.82 (s, 1H), 7.36-7.17 (m, 5H), 5.67 (q, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 2.43 (s, 3H), 1.79 (d, J=6.9 Hz, 3H).
