Reaction Steps

Adenine (9.1 g), ethylene carbonate (6.0 g), and sodium hydroxide (0.14 g) in DMF (68 ml) were heated at reflux for 2 hr. The solution was cooled to 0°, then 70 ml of toluene were added. After sitting for 2 hr at 0°, the precipitate was collected, rinsed with 100 ml of toluene, then cold ethanol, and dried to afford N9 -hydroxyethyladenine.
