Reaction Steps

(7S)-2-Chloro-8-cyclopentyl-7-ethyl-5,7-dihydropteridin-6-one 41e (2.80 g, 10 mmol) was dissolved in 50 mL of acetone followed by the addition of methyl p-toluenesulfonate (2.80 g, 15 mmol) and potassium carbonate (2.76 g, 20 mmol) successively, stirred for 12 hours. The resulting solution was added with 50 mL of water and extracted with ethyl acetate (100 mL×3). The combined organic phase was washed with water (20 mL) and saturated sodium chloride solution (20 mL) successively, then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography with elution system B to obtain the title compound (7S)-2-chloro-8-cyclopentyl-7-ethyl-5-methyl-7H-pteridin-6-one 41f (2.50 g, yield: 85.0%) as a white solid.
