Reaction Steps

N-(4-Chloro-phenyl)-formamide (766 mg, 4.93 mmol) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL). Sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil, 240 mg, 5.91 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. 2,6-Dichloro-9-methyl-9H-purine (1.0 g, 4.93 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was heated to 80° C. for 2 hours; cooled to room temperature and poured into water. The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried to give (2-chloro-9-methyl-9H-purin-6-yl)-(4-chloro-phenyl)-amine (1.2 g, 4.08 mmol, 83%).
