Methyl iodide → 1-(4-Benzyl-7,7-dimethyl-5-phenyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-3-yl)-2-methyl-2-(4-methylphenyl)-1-propanone

To 0.110 mL (0.785 mmol) of diisopropyl amine dissolved in 5 mL of THF at −78° C. was added 0.314 mL (0.785 mmol) of a 2.5 M solution of n-butyllithium in hexanes. After stirring for 30 min, 0.28 g (0.604 mmol) of 5 was added as a solution in 1 mL of THF. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1 h before 0.049 mL (0.79 mmol) of iodomethane was added as a solution in 1 mL of THF. After 1 h the reaction was quenched by addition of approximately 0.5 mL of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride, diluted with AcOEt and dried over sodium sulfate. Filtering the solution through a short plug of silica gel and concentrating in vacuo provided the crude product. Purification by flash chromatography eluting with 90% hexanes/AcOEt gave 0.067 g (23%) of the title compound as an off white solid. MS Calcd.: 477. Found: 478 (M+H).
