J. Quiroga et al., THE FORMATION OF PYRAZOLO[1,5-A]PYRIMIDINES BY THE REACTION OF 3-(4-CHLOROPHENYL)PYRAZOL-5-AMINE WITH CHALCONES, Journal of heterocyclic chemistry, 31(6), 1994, pp. 1333-1335
Cyclocondensation reactions of the pyrazol-5-amine 1 and the 1-aryl-3-
phenyl-2-propen-1-ones 2a-d yield the 6,7-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimi
dines 7a-d. Whereas 7a-c can be isolated in pure state, 7d is subjecte
d to a spontaneous oxidation.
