Acetamide, N-methoxy-2-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methoxy]-N-methyl- → 2-[(4-Methoxybenzyl)oxy]-1-[5-(7-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(1,3-thiazol-5-yl)-7-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]-pyrimidine (2.12 g, 6.38 mmol) in THF (70 mL) at −78° C. was added 2.5 M n-butyllithium in hexane (3.06 mL) slowly dropwise. After stirring for 30 minutes, N-methoxy-2-[(4-methoxybenzyl)oxy]-N-methylacetamide (2.29 g, 9.56 mmol) was added. The reaction was continued for 30 minutes following the addition, at −78° C., then the cooling bath was removed and the reaction was quenched with saturated ammonium chloride and extracted with ether. The extracts were dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The crude mixture was purified by flash column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexanes) to afford desired product (2.16 g, 66%).
