Diisobutylaluminumhydride → 2-(Hydroxymethyl)pyrazolo(1,5-c)quinazolin-5(6H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.28 g (0.005 mole) of 5,6-dihydro-5-oxopyrazolo-[1,5-c]quinazoline-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester prepared as described in Example 2A is suspended in 100 ml of dichloromethane and treated with 7.9 ml (0.011 mole) of 20% di-isobutylaluminum hydride (Dibal). The resultant yellow solution is stirred at room temperature for 45 minutes, 2.0 ml (0.003 M) of Dibal solution is added and stirring continued for 17 hours.
