Hydrochloric Acid → 1,4-Dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium hydroxide (0.864 g), THF (30 ml) and water (30 ml) were added to methyl 1,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate (1.39 g) and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. The reaction was acidified with 5M HCl (aq) to pH to 7 and then washed through a waters HLB OASIS cation exchange cartridge. The cartridge was preconditioned with methanol, then water. The reaction was loaded onto the cartridge and washed with water, then eluted with methanol. The methanol fraction was evaporated in vacuo to give title compound, 1.1 g.
