Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Methanol (5 ml) was added to a suspension of 0.40 g of 60% sodium hydride in 10 ml of DMF. Then a solution of 1 g of 5-methyl-7-chloropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine in 5 ml of DMF was added dropwise thereinto at 0° C. and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water and the crystals precipitated were collected by filtration and recrystallized from diethyl ether to provide 0.40 g of the title compound as colorless crystals. The structure and melting point of the compound obtained are shown in Table 1.
