Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-[2-(2-ethylbenzoimidazol-1-yl)-9-methyl-6-morpholin-4-yl-9H-purin-8-yl]-3-hydroxyazetidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (208 mg, 0.39 mmol) in THF (3 mL) was added NaH (19 mg, 0.47 mmol, 60% dispersion in mineral oil) and the mixture allowed to stir for 5 min before the addition of iodomethane (29 μL, 66 mg, 0.47 mmol). The resulting mixture was allowed to stir for 3.5 h before further iodomethane (29 μL, 66 mg, 0.47 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred for 16 h then concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was partitioned between EtOAc and H2O. The organic phase was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (Si—PCC, EtOAc:cyclohexane, 40-80%) affording 714 as an oil (123 mg, 57%). LCMS (method I): RT 4.49 min, [M+H]+ 549.2. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 7.99-7.90 (1 H, m), 7.74-7.64 (1 H, m), 7.25-7.16 (2 H, m), 4.60-4.40 (4 H, brd m), 4.18 (2 H, d, J=9.17 Hz), 3.82-3.81 (6 H, m), 3.71 (3 H, s), 3.29 (2 H, t, J=7.54 Hz), 3.07 (3 H, s), 1.42-1.33 (12 H, m).
