Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Amino-2H-pyrazol-3-ol (3.1 g, 31.6 mmol) were suspended in 100 ml of methanol. Then sodium methoxide (5.1 g, 95 mmol) and 2,4-dioxopentanoic acid ethyl ester (5 g, 31.6 mmol) were added, and the mixture was heated up under reflux for 12 h. The solvent was removed in a rotary evaporator, water was added to the residue, the precipitate was filtered off with suction, and the filtrate was adjusted to pH 6 with dilute hydrochloric acid. The precipitated product (both precipitates) was filtered off with suction and dried. Yield: 4.9 g (70%), M+H+: 194.09.
