Reaction Steps

7-(4-Chlorobenzyl)-3-methyl-8-(3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenoxy)-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (0.25 g, 0.54 mmol, intermediate 9), potassium carbonate (0.11 g, 0.80 mmol), TBAI (0.10 g) and 1-chloropropan-2-one (0.040 mL, 0.59 mmol) were combined in DMF (3 mL) and heated at 50° C. for 1.5 h. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, diluted with water (100 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×75 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with 1N lithium chloride (2×75 mL) dried with magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to an off-white solid. The solid was purified using a 25 g silica gel flash column eluted with 1% methanol/DCM to give 7-(4-chlorobenzyl)-3-methyl-1-(2-oxopropyl)-8-(3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenoxy)-1H-purine-2,6(3H,7H)-dione (0.22 g, 79% yield) as a white solid. LCMS retention time 4.433 minutes and 99% purity, LCMS MH+ 523. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 7.60 (t, 1H, J=8 Hz), 7.50-7.53 (m, 1H), 7.38-7.47 (m, 5H), 7.32 (d, 1H, J=8 Hz), 5.40 (s, 2H), 4.73 (s, 2H) 3.28 (s, 3H), 2.19 (s, 3H).
