Condensation of ethyl ethoxymethyleneacetoacetate and ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate in ethanol with 3-substituted 3-aminopyrazoles and 5-amino-1,2,4-triazole gave the 2-substituted 6-ethoxy- carbonyl-7-methyl- and 7-amino-6-ethoxycarbonylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines as well as 7-amino-6-ethoxycarbonyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine. In the presence of alkali these rearranged to 2-substituted 6-acetyl-7-hydroxy- and 6-carbamoyl-7-hydroxypyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines respectively and also to 6-carbamoyl-7-hydroxy-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine. According to 1H (including NOESY) NMR spectroscopic data there were formed, along with the cyclization products, noncyclic condensation adducts (as cyano derivatives) from ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate with 5-aminopyrazoles. In the presence of alcoholic alkaline solution these were also transformed in high yield to 6-carbamoyl-7-hydroxypyrazolopyrimidines. When refluxed for a longer time in 12% aqueous alcoholic alkaline solution the 6-ethoxycarbonyl-2,7-dimethylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine and 6-acetyl-7-hydroxy-2-methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine recyclize to give 6-carboxy-2,7-dimethyl- and 2,7-di- methylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines.
