Procedure: To a solution of 1.0000 M of potassium tert-butoxide in tetrahydrofuran (26.7 mL) at 0° C. was added dropwise a solution of diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate (4.53 mL, 0.0280 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL, 0.6 mol). The reaction was warmed to rt and then cooled at 0° C. again. To the reaction mixture was a solution of methyl 3-oxocyclobutanecarboxylate (3.26 g, 0.0254 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL, 0.3 mol). The reaction was allowed to warm up to rt and stirred at rt overnight. After quenching with water, the mixture was extracted with ether. The combined organic layers were washed with water, brine, dried and evaporated to dryness. The crude mixture was purified on silica gel, eluting with 0 to 40% EtOAc in hexane, to give the desired product (3.12 g, 81.12%). LCMS calculated for C8H10NO2(M+H)+: 152.1. Found: 152.3. cooled at 0° C. again to warm up to rt After quenching with water the mixture was extracted with ether The combined organic layers were washed with water, brine dried evaporated to dryness The crude mixture was purified on silica gel eluting with 0 to 40% EtOAc in hexane

Procedure: To a solution of 4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-7-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy]methyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (2.01 g, 0.00637 mol) in acetonitrile (4.0E1 mL, 0.77 mol) was added methyl 3-(cyanomethylene)cyclobutanecarboxylate (1.93 g, 0.0127 mol), followed by 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (0.953 mL, 0.00637 mol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 50° C. overnight. After evaporation to dryness, the residue was purified on silica gel, eluting with 0 to 100% EtOAc in hexane, to give the desired Micheal addition product as a mixture of cis- and trans-isomers (2.12 g, 71.3%). LCMS calculated for C23H31N6O3Si(M+H)+: 467.2; Found: 467.4. After evaporation to dryness the residue was purified on silica gel eluting with 0 to 100% EtOAc in hexane to give the desired Micheal addition product as a mixture of cis- and trans-isomers (2.12 g, 71.3%)
