Reaction Steps

A solution of sodium (50 mg, 2.17 mmol) in ethyl alcohol (10 mL) was stirred at 40° C. under nitrogen until the sodium was consumed. Then 7-benzyl-8-chloro-3-ethyl-1-(3-hydroxypropyl)-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (150 mg, 0.414 mmol) was added at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 4 h. The mixture was quenched with ice-water (15 mL) and concentrated. The aqueous residue was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give 7-benzyl-8-ethoxy-3-ethyl-1-(3-hydroxypropyl)-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (120 mg, 77.9% yield) as yellow solid. LCMS retention time 1.488 min; LCMS MH+ 373.
