Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-isobutyl-3-methyl-5H-isothiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one (method 26) (1.31 g, 5.8 mmol) in 20 mL of anhydrous DMF was added 1.38 g (10 mmol) of anhydrous K2CO3 followed by benzyl bromide (1.18 g, 6.9 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The TLC of the reaction mixture showed the complete disappearance of the SM. The reaction mixture was poured into ice-cold water and extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The combined extracts were washed with water (100 mL), brine (100 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The TLC and the 1H NMR showed the presence of two products N alkylated as well as O-alkylated products in a ratio of 7:3. The products were separated by column (silica gel, 116 g) chromatography using 10% EtOAc in hexanes. 5-Benzyl-6-isobutyl-3-methyl-5H-isothiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one was isolated as white crystalline solid (1.3 g, 70%). m/z 314 (MH+), 1H NMR (300 MHz) δ 0.94 (d, 6H), 2.23-2.37 (m, 1H), 2.64 (d, 2H), 2.82 (s, 3H), 5.38 (s, 2H), 7.10-7.38 (m, 5H).
