Reversible Carboxamide-Mediated Internal Activation at C(6) of 2-Chloro-4-anilino-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines

摘要

A synthetic route to bisanilino-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines has been discovered, wherein the C(6)-chloride reactivity is necessarily enhanced via reversible acid-catalyzed internal activation of the pyrimidine ring by a C(1')-carboxamide moiety. Subsequent selective nucleophilic displacements at C(6) and C(1') constitute a one-pot tandem protocol for the rapid assembly of bisanilino-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines.
