Procedure

A mixture of 30g (0.13 mole) of 2-isopropyl-3-isobutyrylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine and 200 ml of 50% sulfuric acid (v/v) solution was heated at 140° C for 10 hours. After cooling, the mixture was added to 400g of ice-water. The solution was neutralized with sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with chloroform. The chloroform solution was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was distilled to give 8.5g (5.3 × 10-2 mole) of colorless oily product, bp 127.5°-129.5° C (17 mmHg).
