Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-benzyl-3-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (6.0 g, 16.13 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) was added NCS (3.23 g, 24.19 mmol) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 8 h. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and water, and the phases were separated. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give 7-benzyl-8-chloro-3-((2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxy)methyl)-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (5.1 g, 77.9% yield) as light yellow oil.
