Procedure

To a suspension of tert-butyl 3-(cyanomethylene)azetidine-1-carboxylate (9, 417.2 g, 2.15 mol, 1.05 equiv) and 4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-7-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (5, 645 g, 2.04 mol) in acetonitrile (4.9 L) was added DBU (30.5 mL, 0.204 mol, 0.1 equiv) drop wise at room temperature. The resulting reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 3 h. After about 1 h, a clear, brown solution was obtained. When LCMS showed that no starting material remained, silica gel (SiO2, 1 Kg) was added and the mixture was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. This material, which contains the crude desired product (15), was then loaded onto a pre-packed silica column (SiO2, 2.5 Kg) and the column was eluted with 60-80% of ethyl acetate/heptane. The fractions containing the pure desired product (15) were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the desired product as thick oil which was then stirred in heptane at room temperature until crystallization occurred. The solids were collected by filtration and washed with heptane to afford tert-butyl 3-(cyanomethyl)-3-(4-(7-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy) methyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)azetidine-1-carboxylate (15, 1014.9 g, 1039.7 g theoretical, 97.6% yield) as white solids. For 15: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 8.93 (s, 1H), 8.77 (s, 1H), 8.47 (s, 1H), 7.80 (d, 1H, J=3.8 Hz), 7.20 (d, 1H, J=3.7 Hz), 5.63 (s, 2H), 4.50 (d, 2H, J=9.3 Hz), 4.21 (d, 2H, J=9.3 Hz), 3.66 (s, 2H), 3.52 (t, 2H, J=7.8 Hz), 1.40 (s, 9H), 0.82 (t, 2H, J=8.1 Hz), −0.12 (s, 9H) ppm; C25H35N7O3Si (MW, 509.68), LCMS (EI) m/e 510 (M−+H) and 532 (M++Na).
