Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-amine a12 (64.8 mmol, 1 eq, 6.3 g) in EtOH (100 ml), in the presence of PTSA, is added bromomalonaldehyde x9 (64.8 mmol, 1 eq, 9.79 g). The mixture is heated at 80° C. for 12 hours. The solvent is evaporated under reduce pressure and the residue purified by chromatography on silicagel (hexane/AcOEt: 93/7 (v/v)). 6-bromo-2-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine x14 is obtained as a white solid (4.04 g).
