Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetamidine hydrochloride (2, 0.05 mol, 4.7 g) was added to the 0.1 M sodium ethoxide solution (75 ml) and kept stirring under room temperature for 0.5 h. After removing the formed sodium chloride by filtration, the filtrate was added the ethyl α-cyano-γ,γ-diethoxybutyrate (1, 0.05 mol, 11.5 g) and the solution was heated under reflux for 5 h. After the removal of most solvent under vacuum, acetic acid was added to adjust the pH to 7.0 and 10.8 g precipitation as white powder. Ethanol (110 ml) with concentrated sulfuric acid (2 ml) was added to the collected powder and was refluxed for 2 h. By the end of the reaction an equal volume of water was added and kept at 4° C. overnight. The pyrrolopyrimidine 3 precipitated as white powder (2.1 g) was used for next step without further purification.
