Reaction Steps

2N Sodium hydroxide (64 ml, 128 mmol) was added to a solution of methyl 6-amino-9-benzyl-8-oxo-8,9-dihydro-7H-purine-2-carboxylate (7.66 g, 25.6 mmol) in methanol (100 ml) and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The solution was acidified to pH 2 with 2N hydrochloric acid and the resultant precipitate collected by filtration and washed with water. The solid was azeotroped with toluene and ether then dried in vacuo to yield the title compound (7.3 g, 25.6 mmol, 100%).
