Trimethyl orthoformate → 2-Chloro-6-((4-(methylsulfonyl)piperazin-1-yl)methyl)-4-morpholinofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-4-morpholinofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidine-6-carbaldehyde 39 prepared following Example 20 (65 mg, 1.0 eq) was dissolved in 1,2-dichloroethane (9.7 ml) and treated with hydrochloride salt of 1-methanesulfonylpiperazine (69 mg, 1.4 eq), sodium acetate (28 mg, 1.4 eq) and trimethyl orthoformate (0.27 ml, 10 eq). Reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for 12 h. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (62 mg, 1.2 eq) was added and reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for 8 h. Reaction mixture was quenched with saturated aq. NaHCO3 and extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The crude reaction mixture was purified by flash chromatography to yield 2-chloro-6-((4-(methylsulfonyl)piperazin-1-yl)methyl)-4-morpholinofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidine (70 mg, 68%): MS (Q1) 416 (M)+.
