Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 6-(methylthio)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-3(2H)-one (0.50 g, 2.7 mmol) in CH3CN (15 mL) was added a CH3CN solution of P(O)Br3 (1.57 g, 5.5 mmol) in a pressure vessel. The mixture was sonicated for 30 min before being heated to 100° C. for 16 h (overnight). After it was cooled to 0° C., H2O and aqueous ammonium hydroxide were added to basify the mixture. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (10×). The combined EtOAc layer was dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated to give 3-bromo-6-(methylthio)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (0.51 g, 77%) as a brown solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ: 9.00 (s, 1H), 5.57 (s, 3H); MS m/z 245.00 [M+H]+.
