Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-methyl-8-(3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenoxy)-7-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (1.0 g, 2.12 mmol, intermediate 12, step 2) in DMF (10 mL) was added 2-(3-bromopropoxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyran (0.57 g, 2.54 mmol, intermediate 3) and potassium carbonate (0.88 g, 6.36 mmol). The reaction was heated at 50° C. for 3 h. The mixture was cooled, partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layers were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give a crude product which was purified by column chromatography eluting with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (1:3) to give 3-methyl-1-(3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)propyl)-8-(3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenoxy)-7-(2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (0.9 g, 70.0% yield) as a white solid. LCMS retention time 2.270 min, LCMS MH+-THP 531.
