Abstract

A new, efficient process for the synthesis of 5-acetyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid, a versatile building block and the key intermediate of darolutamide, using diethyl pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxylate as the starting material is described. Contrary to the synthetic routes known from the literature, this procedure does not employ explosive diazo reagents, moreover it is simple and safe, thereby suitable for scale-up.
