Potassium Carbonate → {4-[(4-chloro-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-5-yl)methyl]phenyl}methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Chloro-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine (307 mg) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (2 mL), potassium carbonate (304 mg) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. 4-Hydroxymethylbenzyl chloride (377 mg) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hrs. After diluting with water (30 mL), the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate/tetrahydrofuran (3:1, 80 mL×2). The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was separated and purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent, hexane:ethyl acetate=80:20→0:100) to give the title compound (383 mg) as a powder.
