Dimethyl Sulfoxide → 8-Chloro-3-pentyl-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

A flask containing tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium (0) (56 mg, 0.049 mmol) was flushed with nitrogen, before a solution of 8-chloro-3-pentyl-7-(2-propen-1-yl)-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione (96 mg, 0.323 mmol) in anhydrous THF (1.5 ml) was added, followed by DMSO (0.1 ml) and morpholine (0.28 ml, 0.049 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature under nitrogen for 72 hours. The reaction mixture was dissolved in EtOAc (25 ml) and washed with 2M HCl aq. (25 ml). The organic extract was dried (MgSO4) filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. Purification by amino propyl SPE (2 g) loading and washing with methanol and then eluting the product with 5% acetic acid in methanol. Evaporation of fractions containing product afforded the title compound as a white solid (27 mg, 33%). NMR; δH (400 MHz, d6-DMSO) 0.85 (t, 3H, J=7 Hz), 1.20-1.34 (m, 4H), 1.57-1.67 (m, 2H), 3.84 (t, 2H, J=7 Hz), 11.19 (s, 1H), 14.38 (br. s, 1H); m/z 257.2[MH+].
