Procedure
and R═R1═CH3). A suspension of 3 g (0.148 mole) of the sodium salt of 3,7-dimethylxanthine (III, 1-Na salt; R═R1═CH3) and 20 mL of epichlorhydrin is heated while stirring at 65-70° for 20 hours. After cooling, the precipitate is filtered out and washed with methylene chloride. The derived solution of IX in methylene chloride is stripped and the grease-like residue is kneaded in absolute ether, yielding 2.7 (77%) of 1-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-3,7-dimethylxanthine, melting point 115-119°, M+ 236 (J-C. Pascal et al, J. Med. Chem., 1985, No. 28, No. 5, pp. 647-652, melting point 116-117°).
