Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In 5.0 (0.053 mole) of phenol was dissolved 0.34 g (0.0085 mole) of sodium hydroxide, and 1.00 g (0.0043 mole) of 5-chloro-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazine was added to the solution. The mixture was maintained at 150° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was dissolved in chloroform, and the resulting solution was washed with an aqueous 10% solution of sodium hydroxide and then dried. The solvent was removed by distillation, and the residue was recrystallized from a benzene-hexane mixed solvent to obtain 1.20 g (the yield was 92%) of 5-phenoxy-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazine in the form of a colorless needle crystal.
