Participants

Reaction Steps

To the compound from Step C of Example 62 (1.00 g, 2.02 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 mL) was bubbled HBr gas for 5 min until it was saturated. The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 10 min, evaporated in vacuo and coevaporated with anhydrous toluene (10 mL). 4-Amino-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (Aldrich, 0.43 g, 3.18 mmol) and NaH (60%, 150 mg, 3.8 mmol) were stirred in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (10 mL) for 30 min. The resulting solution was poured into the above bromo sugar residue and the mixture was stirred overnight. The mixture was diluted with toluene (50 mL), washed with brine (10%, 3×50 mL) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (EtOAc as eluent) to afford a solid (400 mg).
