7-[(1S)-2-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}-1-methylethyl]-4-chloro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine → 7-[(1S)-2-{[tert-Butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}-1-methylethyl]-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Palladium (10% on carbon, 18 g) was added to 7-[(1S)-2-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}-1-methylethyl]-4-chloro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (182 g, 558 mmol) (see Preparation 1) in ethanol (900 mL) and concentrated ammonia solution (100 mL) and hydrogenated (60 psi, 20° C.) for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through Arbocel™ and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo. Diethyl ether (300 mL) was added to the residue and the mixture was filtered. The filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to afford the title compound as an orange oil in 94% yield, 162.7 g.
