Acetic Acid → 7-(2-(Cyclohexylamino)ethylamino)-2,5-dimethyl-3-(4-chloro-2,6-dimethylphenyl)-pyrazolo[1,5-a] pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dissolve 7-(2-aminoethylamino)-2,5-dimethyl-3-(4-chloro-2,6-dimethylphenyl)-pyrazolo [1,5-a] pyrimidine (0.183 g, 5.4×10−4 mol, 339.2 g/mol) in dichloroethane (5 mL) and add cyclohexanone (100.12 g/mol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.172 g, 211.94 g/mol). To the resultant slurry, add glacial acetic acid (0.032 mL, 5.4×10−4 mol) and stir at ambient temperature under N2 for 3 h. Partition between CH2Cl2 (3 mL) and 1.0 N NaOH (10 mL), then separate the layers and chromatograph the CH2Cl2 layer using [10% (2.0M NH3 in MeOH)/90% CH2Cl2] as eluent. Obtained 0.16 g white solid-foam upon evaporation.
