A New and Efficient Synthesis of Pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine Anticancer Agents: Alimta (LY231514, MTA), Homo-Alimta, TNP-351, and Some Aryl 5-Substituted Pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines

Alimta, as well as homo-Alimta, a nonbridged analogue of Alimta, and TNP-351 have been prepared by a new method that involves Michael addition of the appropriate 1-nitroalkene with 2,6-diamino-3H-pyrimidin-4-one or 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine, followed by a Nef reaction of the resulting primary nitro Michael adduct. Spontaneous intramolecular cyclization of the resulting aldehyde with the pyrimidine 6-amino group yields the corresponding pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine. A series of previously unknown 5-arylpyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines was prepared by the same methodology from the above pyrimidines and nitrostyrenes. It has been found that the intermediate primary nitro Michael adduct can be prepared in a single step by sonication of a mixture of an arylaldehyde, nitromethane, and the 6-aminopyrimidine in acetic acid containing ammonium acetate.
Exploitation of a new route to fused pyrroles: Synthesis of TNP-351, homo-MTA and 5-arylpyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines

We have developed a new methodology for the construction of pyrrolo[2,3- d]pyrimidines that involves Michael addition of 2,6-diamino-4(3H)- pyrimidinone or 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidines to nitroolefins, followed by a Nef reaction of the resulting adduct to form an intermediate aldehyde that spontaneously cyclizes to the fused pyrrole ring. This methodology has been exploited in a new synthesis of TNP-351, and for the first reported preparation of homo-MTA and of a series of 5-arylpyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines.
