Water → 5-(2-Allyloxyphenyl)-1-methyl-3-n-propyl-1,6-dihydro-7H-pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(2-allyloxybenzamido)-1-methyl-3-n-propylpyrazole-5-carboxamide (1.2 g, 0.0035 mol), sodium hydroxide (0.70 g, 0.018 mol), water (34 ml) and ethanol (8 ml) was refluxed for 5 hours. After cooling, the solution was exhaustively extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were washed with brine (30 ml), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and the solvent evaporated under vacuum to give a crude product which was crystallised from ethyl acetate/hexane to afford the title compound (0.476 g, 37%), m.p. 116-119° C. Found: C, 67.00; H, 6.21; N, 17.23. C18H20N4O2 requires C, 66.65; H, 6.21; N, 17.27%.
