Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

18.68 g of methyl 2-(dimethoxymethyl)-3-hydroxyacrylate sodium salt was added to 80 ml of ethanol, and 18.39 g of benzylhydrazine dihydrochloride was added. The mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 7 hours and then cooled to room temperature. After 100 ml of water was added, the mixture was concentrated to 100 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 subjected to silica gel column chromatography to obtain 7.39 g of methyl 1-benzyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate.
