Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of ethyl 3-ethyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate (41.3 g) in methanol (300 ml) was added dropwise 10M sodium hydroxide solution (63 ml) and the mixture heated at reflux for 4 h. The mixture was allowed to cool overnight and then concentrated. The residue was diluted with water (250 ml) and washed with toluene (3×100 ml). The aqueous phase was acidified to pH=4 by the addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The resultant precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried in a vacuum oven at 45° C. to give the title compound (18.4 g) as a buff solid.
