Participants

Reaction Steps

A 15 g. portion of ethyl 1-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-5-cyano-4-pyrazolecarboxylate was stirred under reflux overnight in 200 ml. of ethanol with 6 g. of potassium hydroxide. The reaction mixture was chromatographed over silica gel, and the product-containing fractions were combined and evaporated to dryness. The residues were recrystallized from ethanol-water to obtain 1.31 g. of the desired product, m.p. 228°-230°, which was identified by elemental analysis.
