Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.3g of 2-dimethylaminopyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine and 30 ml of acetic anhydride in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid was refluxed for 2.5 hr. After cooling, the mixture was poured into ice water. The solution was neutralized with potassium carbonate and extracted with chloroform. The chloroform solution was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was column chromatographed over alumina to purify the objective product. Recrystallization from n-hexane gave colorless prisms, mp 80.5°-81.5°. Yield 700 mg.
