Reaction Steps

A 100 mL Schlenk tube was dried under vacuum, filled with nitrogen and charged with 0.5 g (4.461 mmol, 1.0 eq) 1H-pyrazol-3-carboxylic acid which was dissolved in 20 mL EtOH. After adding 1.31 g (0.72 mL, 13.382 mmol, 3.0 eq) conc. H2SO4 the colorless reaction mixture was heated to reflux (100° C.) and stirred at this temperature for 4 h. TLC analysis (DCM/MeOH 95:5) indicated full conversion of the starting material. After cooling to rt the mixture was transferred to a flask to remove the solvent at a rotary evaporator. The colorless residue was diluted in 20 mL water and neutralized with 17 mL saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution. Thereby a white solid precipitated. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (4×50 mL), dried over MgSO4 and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to yield the pure title compound.
