Stir the thus-obtained reaction mixture for 30 minutes and then add dropwise thereto a solution of 11.8 g of methyl iodide in 20 ml of dimethylformamide. After stirring for 30 minutes, admix therewith 0.6 g of glacial acetic acid and stir the resulting solution into 220 g of ice and water. Remove formed precipitate by vacuum filtration and recrystallize residue twice from dimethylformamide and water. Dry the residue in vacuo. Recrystallize the resulting 13.5 g of product three more times from dimethylformamide and water to obtain a 57% yield of 1-methyl-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)pyrazole-4-carbonitrile [m.p. 176.5° to 177.5° C].
