Reaction Steps

11.0 g (37.5 mmol) of 5-cyano-1-methyl-3-pentafluoroethyl-4-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole, 22 ml of 50% strength sodium hydroxide solution and 7.0 ml of distilled water are heated in an oil bath until the solid has dissolved. The reaction mixture is then stirred overnight (oil bath temperature 100° C.). After cooling, the reaction mixture is poured onto a mixture of 150 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 150 ml of ice. The mixture is afterstirred for 30 minutes and the solid is filtered off. The solid is washed with a small amount of water and then dried in an oil pump vacuum. This gives 11.2 g (95%) of 1-methyl-3-pentafluoroethyl-4-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid as a white solid.00
