Reaction Steps

A solution of 100 g of 3-aminopyrazole and 190 g of methyl 3-oxoheptanoate in 120 ml of toluene was refluxed with heating at 100° C. for 3 hours and then cooled. Toluene was distilled off under reduced pressure and diethyl ether was added to the residue. The crystals precipitated were collected and washed with diethyl ether and acetonitrile to provide 184 g of 5-n-butyl-7-hydroxypyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine as colorless crystals.
