Trimethyl orthoformate → 2-Chloro-6-((4-(methylsulfonyl)piperazin-1-yl)methyl)-4-morpholinofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-4-morpholinofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidine-6-carbaldehyde (65 mg, 1.0 eq) was dissolved in 1,2-dichloroethane (9.7 ml) and treated with hydrochloride salt of 1-methanesulfonylpiperazine (69 mg, 1.4 eq), sodium acetate (28 mg, 1.4 eq) and trimethyl orthoformate (0.27 ml, 10 eq). Reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (62 mg, 1.2 eq) was added and reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 8 h. Reaction mixture was quenched with saturated aq. NaHCO3 and extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The crude reaction mixture was purified by flash chromatography to yield 2-chloro-6-((4-(methylsulfonyl)piperazin-1-yl)methyl)-4-morpholinofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidine (70 mg, 68%): MS (Q1) 416 (M)+.
