Hydrochloric Acid → 5-(4-Iodo-phenyl)-7-methylsulfanyl-pyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(4-iodo-phenyl)-6H-pyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine-7-thione (compound E1)(2.09 g) in 2M aqueous NaOH (3 ml) and methanol (40 ml), methyl iodide (0.376 ml) is added at ambient temperature. After 30 min at this temperature further methyl iodide (0.376 ml) is added. After 60 min the mixture is neutralized with 2M hydrochloric acid and evaporated. The residue is partitioned between dichloromethane and water and the organic phase is washed twice with water. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate and the crude product is purified by silica gel flash chromatography. A nearly colorless solid (1.35 g, 62%) is obtained.
