Reaction Steps

Ethyl 3-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylate (1.577 g, 7.26 mmol) in Ethanol (60 ml) and THF (60 ml) was reacted with 1M NaOH solution (40 ml, 7.26 mmol) and heated to 60° C. for 2 h. The solvents were evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was diluted with water. The solution was made acidic by the addition of 2 N HCl solution. The resultant mixture was stirred in ice-cold bath for 4 h and the solid precipitated was filtered, dried and weighed. Yield 378 mg. 1H NMR (400 MHz; d6-DMSO): δ 7.39 (m, 2H), 8.21 (d, 1H), 8.53 (bs, 1H), 9.06 (bs, 1H).
