HCID 12012064, compound → (2R,4R)-4-[2-Amino-6-(cyclopropylamino)purin-9-yl]-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl]methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzoic acid 4(R)-(2-amino-6-cyclopropylamino-purin-9-yl)-[1,3]dioxolan-2(R)-ylmethyl ester crude (1304 g) was stirred with NH3/MeOH (20 L, 2M) for 20 hours at room temperature. Excess ammonia was removed by sparging nitrogen gas through the reaction mixture. The volatiles were removed in vacuo to give a black syrup which was further purified by column chromatography (MeOH/DCM:25/1) to give crude final product (910 g). The crude product was crystallized from ethyl acetate/ethanol to give [4(R)-(2-Amino-6-cyclopropylamino-purin-9-yl)-[1,3]dioxolan-2(R)-yl]-methanol (455 g, 41% yield from acetoxy-sugar).
