Potassium Phosphate, Tribasic → 4-(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)furan-2-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

1 g [4.5 mMols] of 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)furan-2-carbaldehyde, 550 mg [3.6 mMols]-4-chloro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine and 1.52 g [6.7 mMols] of tripotassium phosphate were placed in 20 mL DMF and 10 mL water and purged with nitrogen gas while stirring for 10 minutes at ambient temperature. To this stirring suspension, 400 mg, 0.45 mMols] of tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium (0) was added in one portion, and reaction vessel was placed in a preheated bath at 110° C. The reaction was stirred and heated under a nitrogen atmosphere for 30 minutes (deemed complete by analytical liquid chromatography). The reaction mixture was cooled and suction filtered to remove the ligand present as a precipitate, which was washed with a little DMF/H2O 2:1. The combined filtrates were reduced in volume to one quarter of the original under reduced pressure and diluted slowly with water with stirring. The resulting fine precipitate was centrifuged down and the pellet was washed with more water, re-centrifuged and transferred to a RB with acetonitrile. This solvent was reduced to dryness under reduced pressure. The material, 670 mg (yield 87%) of a light beige powder was carried on without further purification. LC/ms m+1=214.
