Trifluoroacetic acid → (R)-6-nitro-5-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-7-(pyrrolidin-3-yl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

(R)-tert-Butyl 3-(4-amino-5-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-yl)pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (2) (400 mg, 0.85 mmol) was treated with TFA (6 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at rt for 30 min, then NaNO2 (41 mg, 0.59 mmol) was added. After the stifling was continued for 1 hr, the reaction was concentrated under vacuum. DCM (10 mL×2) was added and concentrated to remove the residue TFA to afford (R)-6-nitro-5-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-7-(pyrrolidin-3-yl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-amine (160) (353 mg, quant. yield) as a yellow oil, which was used directly in next step without purification. LC-MS (ESI): m/z (M+1) 417.2.
