Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-cyclopentyl-3-ethyl-5-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide (1.0 g, 4.5 mmol) in benzene (10 ml) in an ice bath was added trimethylaluminum (4.9 ml, 2M in toluene). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, then 1-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)pyrrole (0.7 g) in benzene (25 ml) was added and the reaction mixture was refluxed overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled, 2N HCl was added and the mixture was extracted with CHCl3 (3×). The organic layer was separated, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was digested with ether and recrystallized from ether to afford 1-cyclopentyl-3-ethyl-6-(1-pyrrolylmethyl)-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one, m.p. 170°-172° C.
