Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of ethyl 4-chloro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5-carboxylate (4.00 g, 17.7 mmol) and SEMCl (4.71 mL, 26.6 mmol) in DMF (90 mL) was added sodium hydride (0.851 g, 21.3 mmol) portion-wise at 0° C. The resulting yellow suspension was stirred at 0° C. for one hour and then allowed to warm to room temperature over one hour. The reaction was quenched with water slowly then extracted with ethyl acetate (×3). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (150 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica eluting with 0-50% ethyl acetatehexane to afford ethyl-4-chloro-7-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5-carboxylate. LRMS (ESI) calc'd for C15H23ClN3O3Si [M+H]+: 356; found 356.
