Procedure

Into a 22 L four-neck flask equipped with overhead stirring, thermocouple, 2 L addition funnel and nitrogen inlet was charged (3S)-3-cyclopentyl-3-{4-[7-(2-trimethylsilanylethoxymethyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl]pyrazol-1-yl}propionitrile ((S)-10, 491 g, 1.11 mol) and acetonitrile (4.5 L) at room temperature. The mixture was cooled to 0-10° C. before being treated dropwise with a 1M solution of potassium tert-butoxide in THF (KOtBu, 2.0 L, 2.0 mol, 1.8 equiv) via the addition funnel over 1.5 hours. Following the addition of base the reaction mixture was allowed to return to room temperature and was stirred at room temperature for 12-24 h. When LC/MS showed the reaction was deemed complete, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (EtOAc, 6 L) and 50% (w/w) aqueous ammonium chloride solution (NH4Cl, 4 L). The two layers were separated, and the aqueous fraction was back extracted with ethyl acetate (2 L). The combined organic fractions were washed with water (2 L) and brine (3 L), dried over magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the crude 4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-7-(2-trimethylsilanyl-ethoxymethyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (5, 354 g, 350.1 g theoretical, 101.1% yield) as an amber oil, which solidified upon standing at room temperature in vacuo. This crude material was subsequently recrystallized in acetonitrile to afford pure compound 5 (308 g, 350.1 g theoretical, 88% yield) as white crystals (99.5 area % by HPLC), which was found to be identical in every comparable aspect to the material made from Method A, B, C, and D.
