A novel approach was developed to regioselectively synthesize new 5-amino-6-arylamino-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one 5 derivatives via a tandem aza-Wittig and annulation reactions of iminophosphorane 2, aromatic isocyanates, and hydrazine in 52-92% isolated yields. The compounds 5 reacted with triethyl orthoformate to give 1,8-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a] pyrimidin-4-ones 6 in good yields (62-94%). Their structures were clearly confirmed by spectroscopy data (IR, 1H NMR, MS), elemental analysis, or X-ray diffraction crystallo...
