Procedure
A procedure similar to that described in Preparation 15 was repeated, except that 1.89 g of 2-t-butyl-dimethylsilyloxymethyl-3H-imidazo[5,4-d]pyrimidine (prepared as described in Preparation 49), 0.37 g of sodium hydride (as a 55% by weight dispersion in mineral oil), 490 41 of methyl iodide and 30 ml of dimethylformamide were used. At the end of this time, the reaction mixture was freed from dimethylformamide by distillation under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was treated with 3 N aqueous hydrochloric acid and subsequently made alkaline by the addition of aqueous ammonia. The aqueous mixture was evaporated to dryness, and the resulting residue was purified by column chromatography through silica gel, using a 6:1 by volume mixture of ethyl acetate and ethanol as the eluent, to give 0.37 g of the title compound, melting at 122-125° C.
