Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 4-fluoro-1-(1-methylethyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate (100 mg) in 1,4-dioxane (2 ml) was added 2M hydrochloric acid (2 ml) and the mixture heated at reflux under nitrogen for 58 h, allowed to stand at room temperature for 62 h, then heated at reflux under Nitrogen for 72 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and the solvent was removed in vacuo.
