Methyl 4-phenyl-2,4-dioxobutanoate (10 g) obtained by acetophenone and dimethyl oxalate as starting materials and methylhydrazine were reacted in ethanol (60 ml) at a refluxing temperature for 1 h. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (mobile phase:dichloromethane) to give methyl 1-methyl-3-phenylpyrazole-5-carboxylate (3.0 g) and methyl 1-methyl-5-phenylpyrazole-3-carboxylate (3.6 g).
