Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 3-benzyloxy-5-bromo-1-isopropylpyrazole-4-carboxylate (7.7 g) was suspended in 1,4-dioxane (19 mL) and 20% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (19 mL) was added to the suspension. The mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 8 hours. After the reaction mixture was cooled, the reaction mixture was poured into 2 mol/L hydrochloric acid (100 mL) and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give 4.6 g of the title compound.
