Reaktionsschritte

Ethyl 5-hydroxypyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate (22.7 g, 110 mmol) was suspended in phosphoryl trichloride (100 mL) and heated to reflux. After heating for 2 hours, the reaction mixture was cooled and concentrated to remove the excess POCl3. The residue was diluted in DCM (100 mL) and slowly added to a flask containing ice water. The mixture was separated and the aqueous layer extracted with DCM. The combined organics were dried with MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to afford ethyl 5-chloropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate (24.2 g, 97.6% yield) as a pale yellow solid. MS (apci) m/z=225.9 (M+H).
