Procedure

A mixture of 2-acetoxymethyl-4-bromobut-1-yl-acetate (13.0 g, 48.7 mmol), 2-amino-6-chloro-purine (8.25g, 48.7 mmol) and anhydrous potassium carbonate (10 g, 72.5 mmol) was stirred in dry dimethylformamide (100 ml) for 18 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then filtered, the filtrate evaporated, and the residue purified by column chromatography on silica gel (500 g). Elution with 3% methanol in chloroform afforded 9-(4-acetoxy-3-acetoxymethyl-but-1-yl)-2-amino-6-chloropurine as a white solid (13.8 g, 80%) mp 135-137°. λmax (H2O) 222 (ε 28,500), 245 (ε 4,800) 307 (ε 7,700) nm; νmax (KBr) 3485, 3310, 3200, 1750, 1730, 1625, 1560, 1525, 1475, 1245 cm−1. δH [(CD3)2SO] (270 MHz) 1.85-2.05 (3H, m, CHCH2CH2), 2.01 (6H, s, 2×OCOCH3), 4.03 (4H, d, 2×CH2OCOCH3) 4.16 (2H, t, CH2N), 6.88 (2H, br s, D2O exchangeable, NH2), 8.17 (1H, s, 8-H).
