Reaction Steps

A solution/suspension of 1.59 g methyl 2-cyclopropyl-7-methyl-3-[(2'-nitrobiphen-4-yl)methyl]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-5-carboxylate and /0.5 g Raney Nickel in 30 mL methanol and 150 mL THF was stirred under 1 atm hydrogen for 2.5 hours. The mixture was filtered through Celite, stripped of solvent in vacuo, then was chromatographed on silica gel under medium pressure using 10% ethyl acetate in hexanes to give 2.50 g (17% yield) of the title compound as a light yellow crystalline solid. Rf 0.24 in 20% EtOAc/hexanes, visualized by UV, iodine, and ammonium molybdate/ceric sulfate stain.
