3-Chloropropionitrile → HCID 178511214, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Crude 6-amino-9-benzyl-8-hydroxy-2-mercaptopurine (134 mg, 0.49 mmol) was suspended in dimethylformamide (60 ml). To the suspension were added potassium carbonate (100 mg, 0.72 mmol) and 3-chloropropionitrile (65 mg, 0.73 mmol) in order. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo, and to the residue was added water. The mixture was extracted with chloroform and the organic layer was dried on sodium sulfate. After removal of the solvent in vacuo, the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (5% methanol/chloroform) to give the subject compound (72 mg, yield 45%).
