Potassium Carbonate → 2-Butoxy-8-methoxy-9-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-ylmethyl)-9H-purin-6-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Butoxy-8-methoxy-9H-purin-6-amine trifluoroacetate salt (0.2 g) in dry N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL) was heated at 60° C. with anhydrous potassium carbonate (0.315 g) for 1 hour and allowed to cool to room temperature before adding 3-(bromomethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran (0.112 g). The reaction mixture was heated at 50° C., overnight. The reaction mixture was quenched with water (20 mL) and extracted into ethyl acetate (3 times, 75 mL combined volume). The organic phase was separated, combined and passed through a hydrophobic frit to dry. The organic phase was evaporated under reduced pressure to give a yellow oil which was purified by C18 reverse phase chromatography using water (containing 0.1% formic acid)-acetonitrile (containing 0.05% formic acid) as eluant (20-60%) to afford the title compound as a white solid (105.4 mg).
