Benzenesulfonyl chloride → 5-Iodo-7-(phenylsulfonyl)-7H-Pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Iodo-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (39, 0.569 g, 2.32 mmol) was added to 10.0 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide in a round bottom flask. Sodium hydride (0.102 g, 2.55 mmol) was added and the reaction stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes, then benzenesulfonyl chloride (40, 326 μL, 2.55 mmol) was added. The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight, then poured into aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate adsorbed onto silica. The desired compound was isolated by silica gel column chromatography, eluting with 0.5-6% methanol in dichloromethane. Appropriate fractions were combined and concentrated under vacuum. Toluene was added to the residue, then concentrated under vacuum and the resulting solid was washed with hexane and collected by fitration to provide the desired compound (41, 439 mg). 1H NMR consistent with the compound structure.
