[NH2:1][C:2]1[C:6](C#N)=[C:5]([S:9][CH3:10])[N:4]([CH3:11])[N:3]=1.P([O-])([O-])(O)=O.[Na+].[Na+]>[OH-].[Na+]>[NH2:1][C:2]1[CH:6]=[C:5]([S:9][CH3:10])[N:4]([CH3:11])[N:3]=15.55 g (33.0 mmol) 3-amino-4-cyano-1-methyl-5-methylmercaptopyrazole heated with 50 ml 32% caustic soda at boiling for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, made slightly acidic with aqueous sodium hydrogen phosphate, heated for 8 hours at 50° C. and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated and the residue purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate 1:1).
