Sodium Cyanide → 3-[5-(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]pentanedinitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the above prepared 4-hydroxy-3-[5-(7-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]butanenitrile in DCM (12 mL) at 0° C. was treated sequentially with TEA (130 μL, 0.94 mmol) and methanesulfonyl chloride (73 μL, 0.94 mmol). After 1 hour reaction time, the mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate three times. The extracts were washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was then dissolved in DMSO (5 mL) and sodium cyanide (110 mg, 2.3 mmol) was added. After 30 minutes, the mixture was diluted with water, extracted with ether, washed with water, brine and dried over sodium sulfate. Concentration and purification by flash column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexanes) afforded the desired product (14 mg, 7%). MS(ES): 425(M+1).
