An efficient and environmentally benign one-pot method has been developed for the synthesis of 4-amino-5-arylpyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines. Phthalimido acetophenones were reacted with cyanoacetamide to give 2-amino-4-phenyl-1H- pyrrole-3-carboxamides, which were further converted to 5-aryl-3H-pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidin-4-ones. A novel method is also developed for the synthesis of 4-amino-5-iodopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines.
