Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of sodium metal (12.7 g, 0.55 mol) in ethanol is treated at room temperature with ethyl 5-amino-1-methyl-4-pyrazolecarboxylate (25 g, 0.148 mol), stirred for 0.5 h, treated dropwise with a solution of diethyl malonate (80 mL, 0.52 mol in ethanol over a 0.5 h period, heated at reflux temperature for 56 h, cooled to room temperature, diluted with water, washed with ethyl acetate, acidified to pH 2 with HCl and filtered. The filtercake is washed sequentially with water, ethanol, ethyl acetate and toluene and dried in vacuo at 40° C. for 16 h to afford the title product as a white solid, 28.7 g (82% yield), identified by HNMR analysis.
