Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

8 g (0.022 mol) of 7-(4-diethylphosphonobutyl)-3-methylxanthine (according to Example 24) were suspended in 100 ml of DMF, treated with 6.13 g (0.027 mol) of diethyl 4-chlorobutanephosphonate and 3.7 g (0.028 mol) of activated potassium carbonate and heated at 70° C. for 4 hours. The product was then filtered, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the oily residue which remained was chromatographed on a silica gel column (eluent: ethyl acetate/methanol 10:1).
