Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2-chloro-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine (0.62 g, 4 mmol) in 5 mL iPrOH was added nBuNH2 (2.5 mL, 25.3 mmol) and followed by HCl (2.0 mL, 4.0 M in dioxanes, 8 mmol). The resulting solution was heated at 170° C. for 1 h under microwave irradiation. The reaction was monitored by LC-MS. The reaction time should be extended whenever it is necessary. After evaporation of solvents, the crude product was washed with minimal amount of MeOH. The solid was collected. And the MeOH filtrate was purified by ISCO to provide the desired product (0.73 g, 96%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 8.42 (d, J=0.8 Hz, 1H), 7.53 (d, J=3.1 Hz, 1H), 6.27 (dd, J=3.0, 0.8 Hz, 1H), 3.37 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 1.68-1.57 (m, 2H), 1.52-1.36 (m, 2H), 0.97 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 3H); MS m/z 191.2 [M+H]+.
