Water → 4-Chloro-7-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-7H-pyrrolo(2,3-d)pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-chloro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (5 g, 32.6 mmol) in THF (50 mL) was added NaH (30%, 4 g, 50.0 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour before the addition of (2-(chloromethoxy)ethyl)-trimethylsilane (15 g, 90.0 mmol). The reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 hours. It was then treated with water (5 mL) and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by chromatography to give the title compound. MS (m/z): 284 (M+H)+ (35Cl), 286 (M+H)+ (37Cl).
