Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

8.51 g of methyl 2-(dimethoxymethyl)-3-hydroxyacrylate sodium salt of was suspended in 80 ml of ethanol, and 8.09 g of t-butylhydrazine hydrochloride was then added. The mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 4 hours and then cooled to room temperature. After 50 ml of water was added, the reaction mixture was concentrated to 50 ml under reduced pressure. The concentrated solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with aqueous saturated sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from hexane to obtain 5.26 g of methyl 1-t-butyl-pyrazole-4-carboxylate.
