(+-)-2-Butanol → 5-[(Butan-2-yl)oxy]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 50 ml of sec.-butanol was dissolved 2.1 g (0.091 mole) of metallic sodium, and then, 10.0 g (0.043 mole) of 5-chloro-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazine was added to the solution. The mixture was heated under reflux for 2 hours. After completion of the reaction, the excessive amount of sec.-butanol was removed by distillation under a reduced pressure. The residue was washed with water, dried and then recrystallized from hexane to obtain 6.2 g (the yield was 53%) of 5-sec.-butoxy-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyrazine in the form of a colorless needle crystal.
