Reaction Steps

2,3-Difluorophenylacetonitrile (23 mg, 0.15 mmol) was dissolved in EtOH (1 ml). Hydroxylamine hydrochloride (14 mg, 0.20 mmol) was added, followed by water (0.5 ml) and potassium carbonate (41 mg, 0.3 mmol). The mixture was heated at reflux overnight and then cooled and partitioned between EtOAc and brine. The organic phase was evaporated and the crude amidoxime thus obtained was dissolved in EtOH (1 ml). Ethyl 4-(3-butyl-8-chloro-2,6-dioxo-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-purin-1-yl)butanoate (43 mg, 0.12 mmol) and 21% by wt. ethanolic sodium ethoxide ((0.067 ml, 0.18 mmol) was added and the mixture heated in the microwave reactor at 140° C. for 10 min. The mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and 2M HCl, the organic phase evaporated and the product purified by MDAP to provide the title compound as a solid (13 mg).
