[CH3:1][O:2][C:3]1[N:4]=[CH:5][C:6]2[CH2:11][CH2:10][NH:9][C:7]=2[N:8]=1>C(Cl)Cl.CCOCC.O=[Mn]=O>[CH3:1][O:2][C:3]1[N:4]=[CH:5][C:6]2[CH:11]=[CH:10][NH:9][C:7]=2[N:8]=1MnO2 (1.720 g, 20 mmol) was added to 2-methoxy-6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine in 20 mL of anhydrous CH2Cl2 at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for 8 h, diluted with anhydrous ether (50 mL), and filtered through a pad of Celite. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was purified on a silica gel column eluting with MeOH/CH2Cl2 (1:9) to give 2-methoxy-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (0.149 g, 90%).
