Potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide → tert-butyl {3-[(2-chloro-5-cyano-7-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)oxy]cyclobutyl}carbamate

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,4-dichloro-7-{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl}-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (481 mg, 1.4 mmol) in THF (12 mL) was added a 1:1 cis:trans mixture of tert-butyl (3-hydroxycyclobutyl)carbamate (see Radchenko et al., Journal of Organic Chemistry, 75(17):5941-5952 (2010)) (288 mg, 1.54 mmol) and KHMDS (419 mg, 2.1 mmol). The reaction solution was stirred at rt for 1 hr. The reaction was quenched with brine (5 mL), then partitioned between EtOAc (120 mL) and water (30 mL). The organic layer was separated, washed with brine (20 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to give a light yellow gum. The gum was purified using flash chromatography eluting with a gradient of 0%-40% EtOAc in heptanes. The product fractions were combined and evaporated to afford the title compound (508 mg, 73 yield) as a solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 8.64 (s, 1H) 7.27-7.52 (m, 1H) 5.63 (s, 2H) 5.04-5.60 (m, 1H) 3.73-4.32 (m, 1H) 3.53-3.69 (m, 2H) 2.88 (m, J=9.35, 6.91, 6.91, 3.02 Hz, 1H) 2.50-2.56 (m, 2H) 2.13-2.28 (m, 1H) 1.46 (d, J=4.78 Hz, 9H) 0.92 (t, J=8.06 Hz, 2H) 0.00 (d, J=1.51 Hz, 9H). m/z (APCI+) for C22H32ClN5O4Si 440.0 (M−tBu+H)+.
