Participants

Reaction Steps

5-(2-Methyl-2H-pyrazol-3-yl)-thiophene-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (0.163 g, 073 mmol) was suspended in methanol (1 mL) then sodium hydroxide (1 M, 0.95 mL) was added and the mixture stirred for 2 hours. The solution was evaporated, the residue was taken up in HCl (1 N, 1.5 mL) and the resultant precipitate was collected by filtration and dried in vacuo to afford the title compound as a white solid (0.084 g). LCMS m/z 209.15 [M+H]+ R.T.=2.76 min (Analytical Method 6).
