Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-benzyl-1-(3-hydroxypropyl)-8-(3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenoxy)-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (1.2 g, 2.52 mmol, example 59) in DMF (5 mL) was added iodoethane (0.7 g, 4.49 mmol), followed by potassium carbonate (0.7 g, 5.07 mmol). The reaction was stirred at 80° C. for 2 h; then it was cooled and partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The phases were separated and the organic phase was washed with brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give 7-benzyl-3-ethyl-1-(3-hydroxypropyl)-8-(3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenoxy)-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (0.62 g, 49.2% yield) as yellow solid.
