After stirring for 3 h at −70° C., the mixture is brought to ambient temperature, then 1.8 ml of a 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution is added. The mixture is filtered, dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and concentrated. 2.3 g (100%) of (2-trifluoromethylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl)methanol are obtained in the form of a yellow solid.
