Reaction Steps

A solution of pyrimidine-4,5-diamine (718 mg, 6.53 mmol) and HCOOH (0.36 mL) in triethoxymethane (19 mL) was stirred at 90° C. for 3.5 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 40:1 DCM/MeOH to give 9H-purine as a brown solid (784 mg, 100%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 13.40 (br s, 1H), 9.12 (s, 1H), 8.92 (s, 1H), 8.60 (s, 1H). LCMS (ESI) m/z 121 (M+H)+.
