4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → 2,4-dichloro-5-iodo-7-tosyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2,4-dichloro-5-iodo-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (1.80 g, 5.73 mmol) in DCM (20 ml) was added TsCl (1.09 g, 5.73 mmol) and TEA (1.60 mL, 11.46 mmol), followed by DMAP (70 mg, 0.573 mmol). After stirring for 1 h at room temperature, the solution was concentrated, and the residue was partitioned between EtOAc and H2O, the organic layer was separated, washed with 1N HCl, 5% NaHCO3, dried and concentrated to give 2,4-dichloro-5-iodo-7-tosyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (2.0 g).
