Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[2-(ethyloxy)ethyl]oxy-8-(methoxy)-9H-purin-6-amine trifluoroacetic acid salt (500 mg) in dry N,N-dimethylformamide (4.5 ml) at room temperature and under nitrogen was added potassium carbonate (0.75 g) in one go. The reaction was stirred at 60° C. for 1.5 hours. Tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ylmethyl methanesulfonate (0.29 g) was added in one portion and the reaction heated at 90° C. for 3 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and then diluted with ethyl acetate (20 ml) and washed with water (15 ml). The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The product was purified by C18 reverse phase chromatography using water (containing 0.1% formic acid)-acetonitrile (containing 0.05% formic acid) as eluant (10-45%) to afford the title compound as a white solid (240 mg).
