To a mixture of ethyl (2E)-3-[5-(3-furyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]acrylate (800 mg), tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) and ethanol (10 ml) was added 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (6.5 ml) and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 1 hr. 1N Hydrochloric acid was poured into the reaction mixture, and the precipitated solids were collected by filtration, washed with water and dried with airflow to give (2E)-3-[5-(3-furyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]acrylic acid (703 mg, 99%) as crystals. Recrystallization thereof from ethyl acetate-hexane gave colorless prism crystals. melting point: 218-219° C.
