Lithium Hydroxide → Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

The ester, 1-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-3-isopropyl-6-(4-(carbethoxymethyl)benzyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one (1.20 g, 2.4 mmol) was stirred at RT overnight with THF (50 mL), water (15 mL) and 1 N lithium hydroxide (7.20 mL). The solution was evaporated to near dryness, diluted with 1 N hydrochloric acid, vigorously stirred and the solid was collected by filtration and dried under high vacuum to give 1-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-3-isopropyl-6-(4-carboxymethyl)benzyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one (1.01 g, 89% yield) as a white solid, mp 212-214° C. Mass Spec.: 471 (M+H)+.
