A novel and efficient synthetic method for the synthesis of pyrrolopyrimidine antifolates is described.The key reaction of this method is the photo-initiated free radical addition of bromomalononitrile or ethyl bromocyanoacetate to an enol ether to afford the backbone skeleton of the targeted antifolate molecule.The key intermediates 3 or 4 are smoothly converted to the pyrrolopyrimidine antifolates 1 or 2 in three steps and in high overall yield.
