Procedure

To a solution of (R)-1-(5-acetoxyhexyl)-8-bromo-7-ethoxymethyl-3-methylxanthine (1.83 g, 4.11 mmol) and sodium iodide (123 mg, 0.82 mmol) in anhydrous dimethylsulfoxide (40 ml) was added potassium cyanide (294 mg, 4.52 mmol). After stirring at room temperature for 58 hours, the mixture was treated with water (200 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (4×25 ml). The combined extracts were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (25 ml) and then dried over magnesium sulfate. After the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, the product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:3) to provide (R)-1-(5-Acetoxyhexyl)-8-cyano-7-ethoxymethyl-3-methylxanthine (970 mg, 60% yield) as a pale yellow oil.
