4-Fluorobenzylamine → 3-cyano-N-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-6-hydroxy-7-oxo-1H-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-5-carboxamide;(4-fluorophenyl)methanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Cyano-6-hydroxy-7-oxo-1,7-dihydro-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (100 mg, 0.427 mmol) was suspended in MeOH (10 mL) and to this was added 4-fluorobenzylamine (122 μL, 1.07 mmol) and the reaction was heated at reflux for 2 days before being cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and recrystalised from hot methanol to afford the product a yellow solid (25 mg, 18%).
