Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(2-Phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl)propiolic acid (10.33 g) was added to a mixture of sodium hydroxide (3.15 g) and 95% ethanol (103 g), and then dimethyl sulfate (4.97 g) was added to the mixture. The reaction mixture was heated at 60° to 80° C. for 3 hours and 20 minutes. Ethanol was evaporated in vacuo. Water was added to the residue and extracted with chloroform (50 ml×3). Combined extract was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride (50 ml), dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate to give crystals of methyl 3-(2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-yl)propiolate (5.25 g).
