Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-ethyl 1-tert-butyl 3-(methoxymethoxy)-1H-pyrazole-1,4-dicarboxylate (3.52 g), lithium hydroxide monohydrate (1.47 g), tetrahydrofuran (60 mL), methanol (30 mL) and water (30 mL) was stirred at room temperature for hrs. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography and eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:9-4:1, v/v) to give ethyl 3-(methoxymethoxy)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate as a colorless solid (1.80 g, yield 77%).
