Reaction Steps

A round-bottom flask was charged with 6-chloro-2-iodo-9-isopropyl-9H-purine (1.2 g, 3.7 mmol), pyridine-3-boronic acid 1,3-propanediol cyclic ester (0.91 g, 5.6 mmol), and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (430 mg, 0.37 mmol). To this mixture was added toluene (60 ml), ethanol (6 ml) and aqueous sodium carbonate solution (2M, 15 ml). The flask was sealed and the reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 4 h. Water was added to the cooled mixture, which was extracted with ethyl acetate (50 ml×3). The organic fractions were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with 30 to 70% EtOAc in hexane to afford the title compound as a solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 9.60 (d, 1H), 8.90-8.87 (m, 1H), 8.68 (s, 1H), 8.67 (d, 1H), 7.63-7.60 (m, 1H), 5.12-5.05 (m, 1H), 1.74 (d, 6H). MS m/z 274.1 (M+1).
