Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-methyl-2H-benzofuro[3,2-c]pyrazol-3-amine (4.0 g, 21.37 mmol, described in Example 6) in acetonitrile (150 mL) was combined with excess methyl isocyanate (ca. 6 mL) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for several days. The precipitate was collected, washed with acetonitrile and diethyl ether to give the title compound (4.54 g) as off-white crystals: mp ca. 290° C. (dec.); IR (mineral oil) 3310, 3250, 1635, 1655, 1580 and 1525 cm-1 ; UV max (MeOH) 292 nm (ε=5656) and 269 (21000); NMR (DMSO-d6) δ2.65 (3H, d), 3.8 (3H, s), 6.4 (1H, m), 7.3 (3H, m), 7.8 (1H, m) and 8.35 (1H, s); and Anal. Calcd for C12H14N4O2 : C, 59.01% H, 4.95% N, 22.94% and Found: C, 58.96% H, 5.00% N, 22.62%.
