A mixture of 1.03 g of oxopyrazolylpyrimidine I and
1.08 g of benzylidenebarbituric acid II in 35 ml of
anhydrous ethanol containing 0.37 g of sodium
ethoxide was refluxed for 2 h. On cooling, the
suspension was acidified by adding a calculated
quantity of acetic acid, then stirred for 5 min, the
prcipitate formed was filtered off and recrystallized
twice from the glacial acetic acid. The purified product
was boiled with 20 ml of anhydrous benzene and after
drying in a high vacuum we obtained 0.43 g (20%) of
compound VII, mp > 300°C, Rf 0.76 (C). The 1H NMR

pyrimidine (III) and 0.71 g of 2,4-pentanedione was
maintained at 120–130°C for 1 h. On cooling the
hardened reaction mixture was ground with 5 ml of
