Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4′-{[4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-oxo-7-propyl-4,5-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-6-yl]methyl}biphenyl-2-carbonitrile (0.92 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) were added ethyl bromoacetate (0.66 mL) and cesium carbonate (1.3 g) and the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 15 hr. The mixture was allowed to cool, ethyl acetate and water were added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound as a pale-yellow amorphous solid (0.82 g, 75%).
