9-(3-Azidopropyl)adenine → 9h-Purine-9-propanamine, 6-amino-

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 9-(3-azidopropyl)adenine (0.5 g, 2.3 mM) and 5% palladium on carbon (0.5 g) in methanol was reacted with hydrogen gas at room temperature for 22 hours. The catalyst was removed by filtration, the solvent removed to give 9-(3-aminopropyl)adenine as a white solid in 76% yield. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ=1.80 (m, 2H, CH2), 2.45 (m, 2H, CH2), 3.35 (S, 2H, NH2), 4.20 (m, 2H, CH2), 7.20 (s, 2H, NH2), 8.10 (s, 2H, CH). MS (ED+): 193.0.
