Procedure

To a slurry of 1-cyclopentyl-3-ethyl-6-[3-(ethoxycarbonylmethoxy)phenyl]pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one (1.23 g, 3.0 mmol) in ethanol (10 ml) was added water (100 ml), followed by 85% KOH (0.4 g). The reaction mixture was heated on a steam bath for 3 hours, cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was chilled and acidified with acetic acid to afford a white precipitate, which was collected by filtration and washed with water, then ethanol, and finally ether. The product was combined with the product from another experimental run and then was recrystallized from DMF/CH3CN to afford 0.98 g of 1-cyclopentyl-3-ethyl-6-[3-(carboxymethoxy)phenyl]pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one, m.p. 299-300° C.
