Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7 grams of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-methyl4(1H)-cycloheptapyrazolone, 2.3 grams of sodium hydride (97%), 12 ml of ethyl formate, 2 drops of ethanol and 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran was heated at reflux for 3 hours. The mixture was then cooled and partitioned between water and ether. The aqueous layer was washed once with ether and acidified to a pH of 5 with 1 N hydrochloric acid. The white precipitate which formed was separated by filtration and dried to give 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5-hydroxymethylene-1-methyl-4(1H)-cycloheptapyrazolone as a cream colored powder melting at about 133°-135° C.
