Ethyl Acetate → N-[3-(3-cyano-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-yl)-phenyl]-N-ethyl-methanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.196 g (1.82 mmol) of 4-cyano-2H-pyrazol-3-ylamine and 0.54 g (1.82 mmol) of N-[3-[3-(dimethylamino)-1-oxo-2-propenyl]phenyl]-N-ethyl-methanesulfonamide in 10 ml of glacial acetic acid was refluxed for 8 hours and then the solvent was removed by reduced pressure distillation. To the resulting residue were added 10 ml of dichloromethane and 10 ml of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The two layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was washed with 10 ml of dichloromethane. The organic layers were washed with 10 ml of water and dried over magnesium sulfate. The dichloromethane layer was evaporated to dryness to yield an oil which, in the presence of ethyl acetate, gave 324 mg of N-[3-(3-cyano-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-yl)-phenyl]-N-ethyl-methanesulfonamide as a yellow solid (yield 52.4%).
