Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Methyl 3-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (10.8 g) synthesized in Example 1(3) was dissolved in acetonitrile (100 mL), 2-methyl-2-butene (16.3 mL) and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (4.4 g) were added, and the mixture was stirred in a sealed tube at 120° C. for 4 hr. The reaction mixture was poured into aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=1:4, volume ratio) to give the title object compound (4.6 g, 29%) as an oil.
