Procedure

This example illustrates a synthesis of 1-(8,9-Oxidohexyl)-3-methyl-7-methylpivaloylxanthine (inventive compound no. 1410). A mixture of 3-methylxanthine (Aldrich, 1.00 g, 6.0 mmol), sodium hydride (145 mg, 6.0 mmol) and dimethyl sulfoxide (20 mL) was stirred until homogeneous (0.5 hours). Chloromethylpivalate (865 mL, 904 mg, 6.0 mmol) was added and the reaction stirred for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into water (70 mL) and then extracted with 25% ethanol/dichloromethane (4×60 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated under vacuum to a volume of 40 mL. This solution was cooled in icewater, whereupon a thick white precipitate formed. The solid was filtered off under suction and dried under vacuum to yield 1.43 g (90% yield) 3-methyl-7-(methylpivaloyl)xanthine (inventive compound no. 1404).
