Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.00 g (12.8 mmol) of methyl 3-hydroxy-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate (preparation: Chem. Ber. 1974, 107, 1318-1328) in 28 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide is admixed with 5.09 g (32.0 mmol, 96%) of chlorodifluoroacetic acid sodium salt and 2.66 g (19.2 mmol) of potassium carbonate, and the reaction mixture is heated at 80° C. overnight. The reaction mixture is added to 300 ml of water and extracted several times with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and concentrated by evaporation in vacuo on a rotary evaporator. Chromatographic purification gives 1.07 g of methyl-3-(difluoromethoxy)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate (40%).
