Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of NaH (30 mg, 1.25 mmol) in dry NMP (1.5 mL) was added 4-aminobenzylnitrile (87.4 mg, 0.74 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 30 min under argon. The reaction mixture was added to a solution of 5-benzyl-2-fluoro-4-(mesitylthio)-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine (93 mg, 0.25 mmol) in dry NMP (1 mL) and stirred at room temperature for 2 h. After completion of the reaction, the resulting mixture was diluted with water and washed with EtOAc×3. The combined organic layers were washed with water, NH4Cl, water×2, brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by preparative TLC, eluting with Hexanes:Ethyl acetate (1.5:1) afforded the product as a tan solid (12.6 mg, 11%).
