Procedure

A solution of diethyl oxalate (27.2 mL, 0.2 mol) in 2-pentanone (21.2 mL, 0.2 mol) was added dropwise to a solution of sodium (4.83 g, 0.21 mol) in ethanol (200 mL), and the reaction stirred at 60° C. for 5 h, then cooled in an ice-bath. The solution was neutralised using acetic acid (11.5 mL, 0.2 mol) and N-methyl hydrazine (10.6 mL, 0.2 mol) then added dropwise. The mixture was stirred for a further 4 h at room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between dichloromethane (300 mL) and water (200 mL), and the phases separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (3×100 mL), the combined organic solutions were dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, using ethyl acetate:hexane (25:75) as eluant to give ethyl 1-methyl-3-n-propyl-pyrazole-5-carboxylate (6.1 g) and the title compound (22.1 g, 56%).
