Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-allyl-8-chloro-3-ethyl-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (6.8 g, 26.77 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) was added (3-bromopropoxy)(tert-butyl)dimethylsilane (8 g, 31.75 mmol), followed by potassium carbonate (5 g, 36.23 mmol) and TBAI (5 mg, 0.014 mmol). The reaction was stirred at 60° C. overnight. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated to give a crude product which was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with petroleum/ethyl acetate (15:1 to 1:1) to give 7-allyl-1-(3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)propyl)-8-chloro-3-ethyl-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (5.88 g, 51.6% yield) as a colorless oil. LCMS retention time 2.224 min; LCMS MH+ 427.
