Reaction Steps

Sulfuric acid (5.8 mL) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (1 g, 8.92 mmol) in MeOH (65 mL) at 0° C. After the addition was completed the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 18 hours. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in water and basified with NaHCO3 (aq. sat. solution). The mixture was extracted with AcOEt. The organic layer was separated, dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvents evaporated in vacuo to yield 1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (0.7 g, 62% yield) as a white solid which was used in the next step without further purification.
