Reaction Steps

6-amino-9-benzyl-2-chloro-8-methoxypurine (190 mg, 0.56 mmol) was added to 2-methylthioethanol (3 ml) containing sodium (110 mg, 4.78 mmol). The mixture was heated for 2 hours. Thereto were added 2N hydrochloric acid and 28% aqueous ammonia in order. The mixture was extracted with 3% methanol/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 (3% methanol/chloroform) to give the subject compound (59 mg, yield 27%).
