Ceric ammonium nitrate → 3-Benzyl-2-(biphenyl-4-ylmethyl)-5-methyl-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(5H,7H)-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ammonium cerium (IV) nitrate (204 mg, 0.371 mmol) in water (0.6 mL) is added to a solution of 3-benzyl-2-(biphenyl-4-ylmethyl)-7-(4-methoxybenzyl)-5-methyl-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(5H,7H)-dione (40.3 mg, 0.0743 mmol) in THF (2 mL). The resulting orange solution is stirred at room temperature overnight. Another batch of CAN (204 mg, 0.371 mmol) is added and the mixture is stirred for 3 hours, and then the third batch of CAN (204 mg) is added, and the mixture is stirred at r.t. overnight. The reaction mixture is evaporated to dryness. The residue is treated with brine, and extracted with methylene chloride five times. The organic phase is combined and concentrated. The residue is purified by chromatography to give 11.6 mg product as white solids (Yield: 36.9%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, acetone-d6) δ 3.27 (s, 3H), 4.51 (s, 2H), 5.33 (s, 2H), 7.13-7.62 (m, 14H), 10.26 (s, 1H). MS (FAB) m/z 423.2 [M+H]+.
