Participants

Reaction Steps

To 5-nitro-2H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (524, 10.0 g, 0.0637 mol) in methanol (100.0 mL) was added concentrated sulfuric acid (1.00 mL, 0.0180 mol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was poured into aqueous potassium carbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with 20% ethyl acetate in hexane to give a white solid (525, 1.5 g, 13.8%).
