Propylamine → 7-[N-(2'-Cyanobiphenyl-4-yl)methyl-N-propylamino]-5-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.5 g (10.0 mmol) of N-(2'-cyanobiphenyl-4-yl)methyl-N-propyl amine (prepared from n-propylamine and 4-bromomethyl-2'-cyanobiphenyl by the method described in EP 490 820) and 1.8 g (10.7 mmol) 7-chloro-5-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (prepared according to Y. Makisumi, Chem. Pharm. Bull. 1962, 10, 620) were heated with reflux in 20 ml dry ethanol for 4 h. The mixture was concentrated to halve of the volume in vacuo and cooled with ice, while the remaining starting amine crystallized. It was filtered with suction, and the rest of the solvent was removed. The title compound was obtained from the residue after column chromatography (silica gel, acetone/hexane 1:9 and 2:3) as a yellow oil.
