Chlorosuccinimide → 3-butyl-8-chloro-7-(2-propen-1-yl)-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-butyl-7-(2-propen-1-yl)-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione (3.34 g, 13.4 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (19 ml) was added NCS (1.97 g, 14.8 mmol) and left to stir at rt under nitrogen for 22 hours. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo to give a yellow solid which was filtered and washed with methanol. The filtrate was concentrated and the process repeated. On the final wash the filtrate was purified by SPE (Si, 20 g) cartridge eluting with 1:1; EtOAc:cyclohexane. The combined solids were dried under vacuum to afford the title compound (2.42 g, 64%); m/z 283.3 [MH+]
