Reaction Steps

4Chloro-5-iodo-7-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]-pyrimidine (9b, 0.3 g) was covered with methanol saturated with ammonia (25 mL) and the reaction mixture was heated at 130° C. in a sealed vessel for 10 hours. The solvent was concentrated in vacuo to give a semi-solid mass which was recrystallized from methanol to afford 12, 0.20 g (71.4%), mp 169°-170° C. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ8.7 (s, 1, C2--H), 8.3 (s, 1, C6--H), 5.7 (s, 2, N7--CH2) 4.6 (t, 1, exchangeable with D2O, OH): UVλmax nm (ε×104): (pH 7) 210 (2.0), 280 (0.9); (pH 1) 230 (1.8), 279 (0.9); (pH 11) 228 (0.9), 278 (0.9). Anal. Calcd. for C9H11N4O2I; C, 32.43; H, 3.30; N, 16.81. Found: C, 32.49; H, 3.58; N, 16.70.
