A solution of 3-pentanol (140 mg, 1.5 mmol) in 1 ml of dry THF was treated with 60% sodium hydride in oil (28 mg, 0.7 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 10 min. A solution of 7-chloro-5-methyl-3-(2,4,6-trimethyl-phenyl)-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (75 mg, 0.262 mmol) in 1 ml of dry THF was added and the resulting mixture was heated at reflux for 5 hours. The mixture was quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried and concentrated to give the crude material. The residue was purified through silica gel column chromatography using 3:7 chcloroform:hexane as eluent to give 75 mg (88%) of the title compound. 1H NMR (CDCl3) ä 7.97(s, 1H), 6.97(s, 2H), 6.03(s, 1H), 4.56(m, 1H), 2.53(s, 3H), 2.32(s, 3H), 2.13(s, 6H), 2.10(m, 4H), 1.09(t, 6H) ppm.
