Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2-amino-6-(tetrahydro-furan-3-yl)-3H-pyrimidin-4-one (1.5 g, 8.28 mmol), tetraethyl ammonium chloride (2.7 g 16.3 mmol) and dimethylaniline (1.4 mL, 11.1 mmol) in acetonitrile (15 mL) was treated with phosphorous oxychloride (2.4 mL, 26.2 mmol) and heated at 110° C. for 20 min. The resulting solution was cooled to rt and concentrated to minimum volume and pipetted onto ice chips. The aqueous portion was extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were basified with satd. aq. NaHCO3 solution to pH ˜7. The organic portion was separated, dried, and concentrated. The crude material was chromatographed (MeOH/CH2Cl2) to yield 680 mg (42%) of product as a light orange foam. 1H NMR (CDCl3): 6.59 (s, 1H), 5.16 (br s, 2H), 4.00-4.10 (m, 2H), 3.85-3.91 (m, 2H), 3.28-3.35 (m, 1H), 2.25-2.34 (m, 1H), 2.08-2.18 (m, 1H).
