Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (129 mg) was added to a solution of 1-[4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (700 mg) in N,N-dimethylformamide (13 ml) at room temperature and stirred at the same temperature for 0.5 hour. Methyl iodide (0.3 ml) was added therein and stirred at 80° C. for two hours. Methyl iodide (0.2 ml) was further added and stirred at the same temperature for an hour. After completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, water was added therein and extracted with ethyl acetate three times. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane/ethyl acetate) to give 1-[4-(methoxymethyl)phenyl]-5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (401 mg) as a white solid.
