Ethanol → 5-ethoxy-8-ethyl-8H-pyrazolo[4',3':5,6]pyrido[3,4-e]-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.7 g. of 5-chloro-8-ethyl-8H-pyrazolo[4',3':5,6]-pyrido[3,4-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine of Example 1 (b) (0.01 mol.) are added with stirring to a solution of 2.3 g. of sodium in 50 ml. of dry ethanol. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. The precipitate is filtered off, washed with water and recrystallized from ethanol to obtain 5-ethoxy-8-ethyl-8H-pyrazolo[4',3':5,6]pyrido[3,4-e]-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, yield 2.1 g. (74%); m.p. 196°-197°.
