Abstract
The N-alkylation of some substituted pyrazoles and pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines with dimethylformamide diethyl acetal or triethyl orthoformate has been examined. Dimethylformamide diethyl acetal is more effective as an alkylating agent than triethyl orthoformate. Alkylation of 3-methoxycarbonylpyrazole gives a mixture of N-1- and N-2-ethyl derivatives. Alkylation of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines takes place at the 1-position of the pyrazole ring only. In the case of thio-derivatives of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines, S-alkylation occurs in addition to N-alkylation.
