Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2H-pyrazol-3-ylamine (4.0 g, 48 mmol) and 1-(3,4-dichloro-phenyl)-4,4,4-trifluoro-butane-1,3-dione (11.4 g, 40 mmol) in acetic acid (80 mL) was heated at reflux for 4 h. The solution was poured into ice-cold 10% aqueous ammonia and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 0.5 h. The solid was isolated by filtration, triturated with EtOH (40 mL), and dried to give 5-(3,4-dichloro-phenyl)-7-trifluoromethyl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine as a pale-yellow solid. MS (ISP) 332.1[(M+H)+]; mp 130-131° C.
