1-Ethyl-3-(3'-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide → HCID 90402994, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5,6-diamino-3-(4-methoxybenzyl)-1-methylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (80 mg, 0.289 mmol, intermediate 59) in ethanol (2 mL) was added 2-(2-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)acetic acid (68.8 mg, 0.289 mmol) followed by EDCI (66.5 mg, 0.347 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction was partitioned between ethyl acetate and brine. The organic phase was dried and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in ethanol (3 mL) and 1 mM sodium hydroxide (1 mL) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred at reflux for 3 h. The reaction was concentrated and residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and brine. The organic layer was dried and concentrated to give a crude solid product, which was triturated with ethanol, collected and dried to afford 8-(2-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethoxy)benzyl)-1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3-methyl-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (67 mg, 48.4% yield) as a light yellow solid. LCMS retention time 1.611 min; LCMS MH+ 479.
