Propylene Oxide → 6-(N-Allyl-N-cyclohexylamino)-9-(2-hydroxypropyl)-purine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 12.8 g. (50 mmole) 6-[N-allyl-N-cyclohexylamino)-purine (compound of Example 8 j) in 150 ml. dimethyl sulphoxide are added at 40° C. 7.6 g. potassium carbonate. The reaction mixture is stirred for 10 minutes, cooled to ambient temperature, 5.8 g. 1,2-epoxypropane are added dropwise thereto, the reaction mixture is stirred for 5 days at ambient temperature and evaporated and the residue chromatographed on silica gel (elution agent: dichloromethane/methanol 97:3 v/v). After trituration with diethyl ether, there are isolated 5.7 g. of the title compound )36% of theory); m.p. 108°-110° C.
