Participants

Reaction Steps

To ethyl 1-isopropyl-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate (7.68 g, 39.1 mmol) in THF (50 mL) at 0° C. was added LAH (1.49 g, 39.1 mmol). The cold bath was removed, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours, and then quenched carefully with sodium sulfate decahydrate. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite and washed with Et2O. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 5.3 g (88%) of the title compound.
