These common heterocyclic compound, 25016-20-0, name is 1-Methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid, its traditional synthetic route has been very mature, but the traditional synthetic route has various shortcomings, such as complicated route, low yield, poor purity, etc, below Introduce a new synthetic route. Computed Properties of C5H6N2O2
A stirred solution of 3-methylpyrazole (82.1 g, 1.0 mol) in water (3.5 L) was heated to 70 C. Potassium permanganate (111 g, 0.70 mol) was added in one portion, keeping the temperature near 70 C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at 70 C, and then a second portion of potassium permanganate (111 g) was added at 70 C. After 1 h, a final portion of potassium permanganate (111 g) was added at 70 C. The reaction mixture was stirred a further 2 h at 70 C, and any unreacted oxidant was reduced by the dropwise addition of isopropanol. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, filtered, the solid was rinsed with water, and the filtrate evaporated to 500 mL. The aqueous was chilled to 0 C, acidified with concentrated HC1, filtered, the solid product washed with water, and dried under vacuum to provide pyrazole- 3-carboxylic acid as a white solid (64.4 g, 57%). Dimethyl sulfate (236 g, 177 ML, 1.87 mol) was added dropwise over 45 min to a stirred solution of pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (200 g, 1.78 mol) in 20% aqueous sodium hydroxide (850 ML) at 40 C. The reaction mixture was heated at 80 C for 2 h, cooled to room temperature, filtered, the filtrate acidified to pH 1 with concentrated HC1, the precipitate filtered, washed with water, and dried under vacuum to yield 1-METHYLPYRAZOLE-5-CARBOXYLIC acid (85 g, 38%). The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to 800 ML, extracted with chloroform (15X400 mL), the organic phase dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, concentrated in vacuo, and the residue recrystallized from isopropanol to yield 1-METHYLPYRAZOLE-3-CARBOXYLIC acid (74 g) as a white crystalline solid. A suspension of the acid (90 g, 0.71 mol) and DMF (1 drop) in thionyl chloride (250 ML) was stirred at reflux under nitrogen for 2 h. The solvent was evaporated from the reaction mixture, the residue azeotroped with toluene (3X200 mL), diluted into toluene (250 mL), added to a suspension of Pd-C (10 wt%, 9.3 g) in toluene (500 ML), and the mixture stirred at reflux for 8 h with a gentle flow of hydrogen gas through the suspension. After cooling to room temperature, the suspension was filtered through celite, washed with toluene, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was fractionally distilled under vacuum to provide the title compound (50 g, 63%) as a low melting white solid (bp = 92 C @ 8 MMHG).
The synthetic route of 1-Methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
