Flow synthesis of ethyl isocyanoacetate enabling the telescoped synthesis of 1,2,4-triazoles and pyrrolo-[1,2-c]pyrimidines

Abstract

The efficient flow synthesis of important heterocyclic building blocks based on the 1,2,4-triazole and pyrrolo[1,2-c]pyrimidine scaffold has been achieved. Crucially, a telescoped continuous flow process was developed based on the reaction of N-formylglycine with triphosgene to deliver a stream of ethyl isocyanoacetate in situ, which subsequently yielded the desired heterocyclic entities in a telescoped reaction. Additionally, the functionalisation of the pyrrolo[1,2-c]pyrimidine core via subsequent SEAr reactions was studied revealing insight into a ‘halogen dance’ phenomenon associated with these medicinally relevant architectures.
