Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 800 mg (6.03 mmol) of 2-methyl-2H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid in 30 mL of DCM is placed under argon and cooled to 0° C. When the temperature is reached, 1.32 mL (15.07 mmol) of oxalyl chloride and a catalytic amount of DMF are added. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and then evaporated to dryness and the residue is taken up in DCM and evaporated again to give 850 mg of 2-methyl-2H-pyrazole-3-carbonyl chloride, the characteristics of which are as follows:
