Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane → 2-((5-(benzyloxymethyl)-4-methoxy-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-7-yl)methylamino)-2-(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium cyanoborohydride was added to a suspension of 5-(benzyloxymethyl)-4-methoxy-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine-7-carbaldehyde (50 mg, 168 μmol) and 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diol (20.37 mg, 168 μmol) in methanol (5 mL) and stirred overnight at r.t. The crude reaction was absorbed onto silica and eluted with 20% MeOH/EtOAc to afford 2-((5-(benzyloxymethyl)-4-methoxy-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-7-yl)methylamino)-2-(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diol (24 mg, 59.6 μmol, 35.5% yield) as a syrup. 1H NMR (d4-MeOH) 8.42 (s, 1H), 7.65 (s, 1H), 7.23 (m, 5H), 5.74 (s, 2H), 4.51 (s, 2H), 4.11 (s, 3H), 4.04 (s, 2H), 3.68 (s, 6H). 13C NMR (d4-MeOH) 158.4, 151.2, 150.9, 139.1, 134.4, 129.7, 129.2, 129.0, 117.5, 116.4, 78.9, 71.9, 62.9, 62.6, 54.8, 36.6.
