Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.14 g (3.0 mmole) of 2-acetamide-9-(2,3-diacetoxy-1-propoxymethyl)hypoxanthine (VIII) from Step B above was heated at reflux in 40% aqueous methylamine with stirring under N2 for 1 hour and then cooled. TLC (80:20:2 CHCl3 --CH3OH--H2O) showed complete conversion to the title compound (I). The light orange solution was treated with some charcoal and filtered through Super-Cel. Concentration of the filtrate gave a solid which was recrystallized from H2O (adjusted to about pH 6 with a few drops of CH3COOH) to yield 687 mg of cream-colored crystals, mp 246°-247° dec.
