Reaction Steps

A 40% aqueous solution of methylamine (10 ml) was added to a solution of (R)-1-(5-acetoxyhexyl)-8-bromo-7-ethoxymethyl-3-methylxanthine (0.450 g) in dimethylsulfoxide (20 ml). After heating at 70° C. for 6 hours, the mixture was treated with water (50 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 ml). The combined extracts were washed with water (2×30 ml), dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 10% methanol-ethyl acetate to provide (R)-1-(5-acetoxyhexyl)-7-ethoxymethyl-3-methyl-8-methylaminoxanthine (0.32 g).
