Reaction Steps

To a solution of 8-bromo-7-(4-chlorobenzyl)-3-methyl-1-(3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)propyl)-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (300 mg, 0.588 mmol, intermediate 14) in anhydrous DMF (12 mL) was added prop-2-yn-1-ol (0.15 ml, 2.545 mmol), bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride (10 mg, 0.043 mmol), copper iodide (10 mg, 0.053 mmol) (45 mg, 0.402 mmol) and TEA (3 mL, 21.6 mmol). Then the mixture was degassed and refilled with nitrogen 3 times. The reaction was stirred at 85° C. overnight under nitrogen. The mixture was cooled, filtered and the filter cake was washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated to give a crude product, which was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with DCM/ethyl acetate (3:1 to 1:1) to give 7-(4-chlorobenzyl)-8-(3-hydroxyprop-1-ynyl)-3-methyl-1-(3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)propyl)-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (170 mg, 59.5% yield) as a light yellow solid. LCMS retention time 1.523 min; LCMS MH+ 487.
