Abstract

A palladium-catalysed direct arene C-H fluoroalkoxylation of 4-aryl-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives with fluorinated alcohols is described. Highly site-selective mono- or bis-fluoroalkoxylation can be achieved by tuning the reaction conditions, affording various fluoroalkoxylated pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives in moderate to good yields, which offer rational tailoring of their biological activity for their application in the field of pharmaceutical chemistry.
