Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 90402690, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3-methyl-7-((5-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)-8-(3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzyl)-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (120 mg, 0.212 mmol) in DCM (1.4 mL) was added triflic acid (0.7 mL) and TFA (0.7 mL). The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was washed with saturated NaHCO3 and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give crude product, which was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with petroleum/ethyl acetate (10:1 to 1:1) to give 3-methyl-7-((5-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)-8-(3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzyl)-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (60 mg, 63.5% yield) as white solid. LCMS MH+ 446.
