Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-cyclopropylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-ol (0.400 g, 2.28 mmol) and phosphorous oxychloride (4.26 ml, 45.7 mmol) in a resealable tube was heated to 100° C. After 4 hrs the solution was cooled to RT and slowly poured onto ice. The mixture was made basic using 2 N NaOH and saturated NaHCO3 and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic fractions were washed with brine and dried with sodium sulfate. The organic phase solution was passed over a plug of silica gel and concentrated in vacuo to afford 7-chloro-2-cyclopropylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine as a brown oil that was advanced without further purification. MS: Found M+H+=194.1.
