Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(2-chloro-9-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)-9H-purin-6-yl)morpholine (1.96 g, 6.05 mmol) in THF (75 mL) was a 2.5 M solution of n-BuLi in hexanes (3.2 mL, 7.9 mmol) at −78° C. The reaction mixture was then stirred at −78° C. for 45 minutes. DMF (0.94 mL, 12.1 mmol) was then added. The resulting mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 2 hours before being poured slowly onto ice. The mixture was then extracted three times with DCM. The combined extracts were washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (25% EtOAc in heptane) to give the title compound (1.1 g, 52%). LCMS: M+H+=352.2.
