Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 4-(3-(3-(benzyloxy)cyclobutyl)ureido)-1-(4-chlorobenzyl)-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate (310 mg, 0.64 mmol) in ethanol (50 mL) was added freshly prepared sodium ethoxide (87.4 mg, 1.28 mmol) and the reaction was heated at reflux for 4 h. The reaction was cooled and concentrated. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and brine. The organic layer was dried and concentrated to give 1-(3-(benzyloxy)cyclobutyl)-7-(4-chlorobenzyl)-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (240 mg, 85.5% yield) as a yellow solid. LCMS retention time 1.764 min; LCMS MH+ 437.
