Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ethanol solution (80 ml) of 0.70 g of (purin-6-yl)ethanone was added 0.70 g of sodium borohydride and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The excessive reagent was decomposed by adding water and 4 N hydrochloric acid and distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluted by dichloromethane/methanol) to thereby give 0.57 g of the title compound as a white solid.
