Reaction Steps

A round-bottom flask was charged with 6-chloro-2-iodo-9-isopropyl-9H-purine (prepared in Example 15c, 3.31 g, 0.0103 mol), benzo[b]thiophen-3-ylboronic acid (2.74 g, 0.0154 mol), and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (1.19 g, 0.0103 mol). To this mixture was added toluene (80 ml), ethanol (25 ml) and aqueous sodium carbonate solution (2M, 21 ml). The flask was sealed and the reaction mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 1 h. Water was added to the cooled mixture, which was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic fractions were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with 20 to 50% EtOAc in hexane to afford the title compound as a solid, which was recrystallized from 1:1 methanol/water. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ=9.15 (d, 1H), 8.85 (s, 2H), 8.17 (d, 1H), 7.62 (t, 1H), 7.53 (t, 1H), 5.06 (m, 1H), 1.71 (d, 6H); MS m/z 329.0 (M+1).
