Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yloxy)-1-naphthoic acid (357 mg, 1.17 mmol) in DCM (11.7 mL) under an N2 atmosphere, was added DMF (2 drops) followed by (COCl)2 (143 μL, 1.64 mmol) dropwise. After stirring at RT for 4 hours, the reaction mixture became a yellow slurry. An aliquot was removed and placed in a vial containing 500 μl of 1 M MeNH2. After 5 min, the resulting solution was analyzed by LCMS to indicate complete conversion to the methylamine and that no acid was present in the reaction mixture. The slurry was concentrated to a yellow stable solid, which was taken directly to the next step of the reaction sequence.
