Procedure
To a stirring suspension of (R)-1-(5-acetoxyhexyl)-3-methylxanthine (9.3 g, 30.2 mmol) and sodium acetate (4.92 g, 60.0 mmol) in acetic acid (200 ml) at 60° C. was added bromine (5.76 g, 36.0 mmol) dropwise. After stirring at 60° C. for an additional 2 hours, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was treated with water (100 ml) and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. After filtration, the solids were washed with water (3×15 ml) and dried under vacuum to provide (R)-1-(5-acetoxyhexyl)-8-bromo-3-methylxanthine (8.8 g, 75% yield) as a beige powder.
