5-Methylpyrazole derivative 1 is metallated at the C-5 methyl carbon atom t
o form lithium 5-lithiomethyl-3-methylpyrazole-1-carboxylate 3 which on rea
ction with alpha-oxoketene dithioacetals 4a-d, 12a-c and 15a-b yields subst
ituted and annelated pyrazolo[1,5-n]pyridines 7a-d, 13a-c and 16a-b. (C) 19
