Pyridine → 9-(4-Acetoxy-2-acetoxymethylbutyl)guanine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 9-(4-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethylbutyl)guanine (0.50 g, 2.0 mmol), acetic anhydride (1.02 g, 10.0 mmol), pyridine (1.11 g, 14.0 mmol), and dry N,N-dimethylformamide (25 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 13 days and then evaporated to dryness in vacuum. The crystalline residue was heated with 10 ml of water and lyophilized and recrystallized from water to give 0.468 g (69%) of 9-(4-acetoxy-2-acetoxymethylbutyl)guanine.
