Dimethylformamide → HCID 15958110, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice cold solution of 300 mg (0.78 mmol) of 6-(4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-7-cyclohexyl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine in 2 mL of dimethylformamide (DMF) and 1 mL of dichloromethane (DCM) was added 0.085 mL (0.9 mmol) of phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) and the resulting mixture was allowed to warm up to rt and stirred at rt for 4 h when analysis by thin layer chromatography (TLC) indicated complete conversion of starting material to product. The reaction mixture poured into ice-water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to give 335 mg of 6-(4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-7-cyclohexyl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carbaldehyde (436) as a beige solid as indicated by 1H NMR; LC-MS—calcd for C26H25N3O2 [M++H]+: 412.19, found: 412.1.
