Procedure

To a suspension of 2-chloro-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine (3.55 g, 23.2 mmol) in water (200 ml) was added sodium bicarbonate (19.2 g) A solution of potassium iodide (16.41 g, 98.9 mmol) and iodine (5.78 g, 22.8 mmol) in water (25 ml) was added dropwise then allowed to stir at room temperature for 1 h. The mixture was diluted with brine and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extracts were dried filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography, eluting with chloroform/methanol 25/1 to 20/1, to afford 2-chloro-7-iodo-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine (5.33 g, 83%). 1H NMR (DMSO, 300 MHz): 12.50 (s, 1H), 8.82 (s, 1H), 8.20 (s, 1H); 13C NMR (DMSO, 75 MHz): 143.2, 143.0, 139.7, 139.5, 126.5, 56.2; LRMS (EI): m/z calcd for [M]+ 278.91, 280.91 found 278.95, 280.95.
