Abstract
4(3H)-X-7H-Pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines in which X is .dbd.O or .dbd.NH are prepared by treating a 6-amino-4(3H)-X-pyrimidine with a unsubstituted or substituted 1-nitroalk-1-ene to yield a 6-amino-4(3H)-X-pyrimidine which is substituted in the 5-position by a 1-nitroalk-2-yl group; (ii) converting the 5-(1-nitroalk-2-yl)-6-amino-4(3H)-X-pyrimidine to the corresponding 5-(1-oxoalk-2-yl)-6-amino-4(3H)-X-pyr-imidine; and (iii) removing the elements of water from the 5-(1-oxoalk-2-yl)-6-amino-4(3H)-X-pyrimidine to effect cyclization. A typical embodiment involves treating 2,6-diamino-4(3H)-pyrimidone with 1-nitro-4-(4-ethoxycarbonylphenyl)-1-butene to yield 1 -nitro-2-(2,6-diamino-4(3H)-oxopyrimidin-5-yl)-4-(4-ethoxy-carbonylphenyl) butane which is then treated sequentially with base and acid, without isolation of the intermediate aldehyde, to form 4-[2-(2-amino-4(3H)-oxo-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-yl)ethyl]benzoic acid, a valuable known chemical intermediate for the preparation of N-[4-{2-(2-hydroxy-4-amino-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]-pyrimidin-5-yl)ethyl}benzoyl] glutamic acid.
