Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of cyclopropylmethyl bromide (0.101 g, 0.75 mmol) and ethyl 4-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazine-2-carboxylate (31.4 mg, 0.150 mmol) in acetonitrile (2 mL) was added cesium carbonate (147 mg, 0.45 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated overnight at 70° C. Upon cooling to room temperature, the insolubles were removed by filtration and the solvent evaporated to dryness to afford crude Intermediate 33.
