Ammonia → N-[1-(2-aminoethyl)-4-piperidinyl]-9-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-9H-purin-8-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 18.2 parts of 4-[[9-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-9H-purin-8-yl]amino]-1-piperidineacetonitrile and 240 parts of methanol saturated with ammonia was hydrogenated at normal pressure and at a temperature below 20° C. with 3 parts of Raney-nickel catalyst. After the calculated amount of hydrogen was taken up, the catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was crystallized from acetonitrile. The product was filtered off and dried, yielding 16 parts (87.5%) of N-[1-(2-aminoethyl)-4-piperidinyl]-9-[(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-9H-purin-8-amine; mp. 146.1° C. (compound 155).
