Procedure

To a stirring solution of (R)-3-(5-acetoxyhexyl)-7,8-dihydro-1-methyl-1H-imidazo[2,1-f]-purine-2,4(3H,6H)-dione (3.5 g, 10.0 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (10.32 g, 80 mmol) in chloroform (100 ml) was added chloromethyl ethyl ether (3.78 g, 40 mmol). After stirring at room temperature for 16 hours, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate to provide (R)-3-(5-acetoxyhexyl)-7,8-dihydro-8-ethoxymethyl-1-methyl-1H-imidazo[2,1-f]-purine-2,4(3H,6H)-dione (2.0 g, 49% yield).
