The temperature is kept below 20° C. during the addition. After 2 hours of stirring at room temperature, the reaction mixture is carefully acidified to pH 2 with concentrated aqueous hydrochloric acid. The resulting white precipitate is filtered, washed with water, and dried to yield 6 g of 3-(difluoromethyl)-5-fluoro-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm: 3.90 (s, 3H); 7.22 (t, 1H, JHF=53.55 Hz); 13.33 (s, 1H).
