Reaction Steps

p-Toluenesulfonic acid (29.2 g, 154 mmol) in acetonitrile (100 mL) was added to the reaction mixture described in Example 3 containing 5-amino-4-(4-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)-3-methylpyrazole-1-carboxylic acid amide. The resulting mixture was heated to 85–90° C. and trimethyl orthoacetate (160 mL, 1.26 mol) was added over 5 minutes during the heating. The reaction was held for about 45 minutes in the desired range with a total of 1.5 hours of heating time from the initiation of the heating cycle. Reaction progress was monitored by HPLC. Water (1.50 L) was added over 5 minutes with a temperature drop to about 60° C. The resulting mixture was cooled to about 20° C. over 1 hour and the product isolated by filtration. The yield was 136 g (78.0% with a purity of 99.5 A %).
