Sodium Acetate → 5-(alpha,alpha,alpha-Trifluoro-m-tolyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The mixture of 1.65 g. 7-chloro-5-(α,α,α-trifluoro-m-tolyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, 0.46 g. of anhydrous sodium acetate, 0.20 g. of 10% palladium on charcoal catayst and 100 ml. of absolute alcohol is hydrogenated in a Parr apparatus beginning at 10 lbs. pressure until one equivalent of hydrogen is absorbed in about 40 minutes. The catalyst is removed by filtration and the solvent is evaporated to dryness and water is added. The solid is collected by filtration and is recrystallized from methylene chloride-hexane to yield the desired material, m.p. 117°-118° C.
