摘要:
Disclosed is a process for preparing a 3-hydroxy-7- mercaptopyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine compound represented by the general formula (IX): wherein R¹ is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having l to 4 carbon atoms, a phenyl group or a substituted phenyl group, which comprises: from a pyrazole compound represented by the general formula (III): wherein R¹ is the same as defined above. Also disclosed are pyrazole compounds represented by the general formula (I): wherein: R¹ is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having l to 4 carbon atom, a phenyl group or a substituted phenyl group: X is a nitroso group, an amino group or (R²)₂NCH=N- (wherein R² is an alkyl group having l to 3 carbon atoms): and Y is -C(O)NH₂ when R¹ is an alkyl group having l to 4 carbon atoms, a phenyl group or a substituted phenyl group and X is a nitroso group, or -C(O)NH₂ when R¹ is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having l to 4 carbon atoms, a phenyl group or a substituted phenyl group and X is an amino group, or CN or -C(S)NH₂ when R¹ is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having l to 4 carbon atoms, a phenyl group or a substituted phenyl group and X is (R²)₂NCH=N- (wherein R² is the same as defined above. The compounds serve as intermediate for preparing the compound of the formula (IX).
