Hydrochloric Acid → 3-(2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

KOH (2.09 g, 37.4 mmol) was dissolved into EtOH (30 mL) and to this solution was added ethyl 3-(2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate (4.5 g, 18.7 mmol) and the mixture stirred at rt overnight. To the reaction mixture was added concentrated HCl (3.1 mL) with stirring and the resulting suspension was filtered and the cake was washed with EtOH (two×20 mL). The filtrate was concentrated to give the title compound (3.3 g, 83% yield) as a brown gum.
