Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

N,N-Dimethyl formamide (2980 mg, 40.8 mmol) was added to 1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ol (1000 mg, 10.19 mmol). Phosphorus oxychloride (7.46 ml, 81.5 mmol) was then added dropwise over 10 minutes. The reaction was then heated to 80° C. for 6 hours. The reaction was concentrated in vacuo and crude material neutralised with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution. The product was then extracted with ethyl acetate (2×25 ml), the combined organics were washed with brine (20 ml) dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give the title product as a brown oil which formed a crystalline solid upon standing (1130 mg, 77% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) 3.84-3.87 (3H s) 7.95-7.97 (1H d) 9.76-9.78 (1H d).
