Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride suspension in mineral oil was washed with hexane and dried under vacuum, then taken up in tetrahydrofuran. This mixture is cooled to 0° C., and treated with diethyl malonate (1.1 eq.). After the evolution of hydrogen gas is complete, the resulting solution is treated with 8-(2-bromo-4-isopropylphenyl)-4-chloro-2-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropteridin-6-one (see Example SF445, Part A, below; 1.0 eq.). The solution is heated to reflux until thin-layer chromatography shows the consumption of the starting material is nearly complete. The mixture is allowed to cool, and poured into saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution. This is extracted twice with ethyl acetate, and the extracts are washed with brine, combined, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residue is separated by column chromatography to afford the title product.
