Acetic Acid → 4,5,6,7-Tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-3-amine sulfate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-nitro-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (1.68 g) in a mixture of sulfuric acid (0.6 ml), acetic acid (100 ml) and water (10 ml) was treated with 10% palladium on carbon (0.5 g) under a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 6 days. After the catalyst was filtered off, the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was triturated with ethanol and dried in vacuo to give 3-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine sulfuric acid salt (2.3 g) as a solid.
