N-bromobutanimide → 8-bromo-2-(((S)-pentan-2-yl)oxy)-9-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)-9H-purin-6-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-Bromosuccinimide (12.16 g, 68.3 mmol) was added portionwise over 5 minutes to a stirred solution of 2-{[(1S)-1-methylbutyl]oxy}-9-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)-9H-purin-6-amine (14.9 g, 48.8 mmol) (for example, as prepared for Intermediate 4) in chloroform (80 mL) at <5° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen. The reaction mixture was stirred at <5° C. for 5 hours then washed with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (80 mL) then water (80 mL). The foam was dissolved in dichloromethane (50 mL) and washed with water (50 mL) then brine (50 mL). The combined aqueous phases were washed with dichloromethane (50 mL). The combined organic layers were dried through a hydrophobic frit, and the solvent removed in vacuo to yield the title compound as an orange foam (18.5 g).
