Methyl iodide → 8-Ethyl-4-methyl-4H-pyrazolo[4',3':5,6]pyrido[3,4-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5(8H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.6 g. of 8-ethyl-4H-pyrazolo[4',3':5,6]pyrido[3,4-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5(8H)-one (0.01 mol.) are treated with 0.3 g. of sodium in 50 ml. of diethyleneglycol dimethyl ether at reflux temperature with stirring for 30 minutes. After this time, the temperature is lowered to 60° and 3 g. of methyl iodide are added. Stirring and heating is continued for 12 hours. The precipitate of sodium iodide is filtered off and the solvent distilled from the mother liquor. The remaining 8ethyl-4-methyl-4Hpyrazolo[4',3':5,6]pyrido[3,4-e][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin5(8H)-one is recrystallized from butanol, yield 2 g. (75%); m.p. 208°-210°.
