1,8-Diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene → ethyl 3-(cyanomethyl)-3-[4-(7-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]cyclobutanecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-7-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (5.23 g, 16.6 mmol) and ethyl 3-(cyanomethylene)cyclobutanecarboxylate (prepared in Step 4) in acetonitrile (40 mL) was added 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (2.48 mL, 16.6 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 136 hours at room temperature. The solvent was removed in vacuo. Flash column chromatography, eluting with a gradient of 50-90% ethyl acetate in hexanes afforded product as a mixture of cis- and trans-isomers (4.53 g, 52% over the two steps).
