Reaction Steps

To 90% HNO3 (95 mL) at -10 to -15° C. was added 1-cyclopentyl-3-ethyl-6-(phenylmethyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one (9.62 g, 30 mmol) . The reaction mixture was stirred as such for 1.5 hours, and then was poured into ice water. A precipitate formed which was collected by filtration, recrystallized from ethyl acetate and dried at 100° C. and 0.2 mm Hg to afford 2.31 g of 1-cyclopentyl-3-ethyl-6-(4-nitrophenylmethyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one, m.p. 221-223° C. [labelled as Example 25 (a)]. The mother liquors were combined and concentrated in vacuo to afford a mixture of 1-cyclopentyl-3-ethyl-6-(2-nitrophenylmethyl)pyrazolo [3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one and 1-cyclopentyl-3-ethyl-6-(3-nitrophenyl methyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one [ labelled as Example 25 (b)].
