Procedure

3-((6-amino-2-(2-methoxyethoxy)-9H-purin-9-yl)methyl)benzonitrile (7) (1.0 g) was suspended in acetonitrile. N-Bromosuccinimide (1.0 g) was added in small portions over 10 minutes. After stirring for 1 hour, the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with 10% aqueous Na2S2O3 solution, saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution and brine, dried with Na2SO4 and evaporated to dryness under vacuum. The crude 3-((6-amino-8-bromo-2-(2-methoxyethoxy)-9H-purin-9-yl)methyl)benzonitrile (8) was dissolved in methanol (50 mL) and 50% aqueous KOH solution (1 mL) was added. The mixture was heated under reflux for 3 hours and then concentrated under vacuum. The product was extracted with ethyl acetate, the combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried with Na2SO4 and evaporated under vacuum. Purification by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluent: 0-10% MeOH in ethyl acetate) gave 3-((6-amino-8-methoxy-2-(2-methoxyethoxy)-9H-purin-9-yl)methyl)benzonitrile (9) (0.45 g) as a pinkish solid.
