An efficient and original synthesis of various 3,7‐substituted pyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidines is reported. First, a two‐step process by an SNAr amination followed by a Pd‐catalyzed direct CH‐arylation was developed, then a parallel single‐pot SNAr amination/CH arylation sequence was performed starting from 7‐chloro‐5‐methyl‐2‐phenylpyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine to obtain highly functionalized products with good yields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
