Abstract
Pharmaceutically important azolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines can be synthesized from widely available 3- or 5-aminoazoles, aldehydes, and triethylamine. The key is the in situ generation of an acyclic enamine followed by an annulation reaction. This strategy is capable of constructing a range of 5,6-unsubstituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines.
