Reaction Steps

N-{3-Chloro-4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]phenyl}-5-{2-[2-(methylthio)ethoxy]ethyl}-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-amine (70.0 mg) was dissolved in dichloromethane (5.0 mL), titanium tetraisopropoxide (0.10 mL), methanol (0.50 mL) and 70% aqueous tert-butyl hydroperoxide solution (8.0 mL) were added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. Saturated aqueous sodium thiosulfate solution was added to the reaction mixture under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr and extracted with dichloromethane. The extract was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated, and the residue was separated and purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent, ethyl acetate:methanol=100:0→ethyl acetate:methanol=90:10). Crystallization from diethyl ether/ethyl acetate/hexane gave the title compound (62.5 mg).
