Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the compound (25.0 g, 107 mmol) obtained in step 2 in ethanol (90 mL) was added 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (117 mL, 235 mmol) at room temperature, and the mixture was heated under reflux for 24 hr. The organic solvent was evaporated, and ethyl acetate was added to the residue. The aqueous layer was separated, and 2N hydrochloric acid was added until the aqueous layer became pH2. The precipitate was collected by filtration to give 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid (22.8 g, 100%) as a yellow powder.
