Pyridine → 4-[(4-CHLOROPHENYL)METHYL]-6,7-DIHYDRO-2,6-DIMETHYL-3H-IMIDAZO[1,2-a]PURIN-9(4H)-ONE

Participants

Reaction Steps

The product of Procedure 99 was reduced with sodium dithionate in formic acid according to the method of Procedure 21. The resulting 7-amino-4-[(4-chlorophenyl)-methyl]-2,3-dihydro-6-formylamino-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-5-(8H)-one, 3.5 g. (0.0104 mole) in 7 ml. of pyridine and 7 ml. of acetic anhydride was refluxed for three 3 hrs. during which the mixture foamed and turned dark. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and diluted with acetonitrile resulting in the formation of a white precipitate which was collected. Recrystallized from iPROH/MeOH, yield 800 mg., m.p. 290°-291° C.
