Reaction Steps

Dissolve 4-[[2-(1,1-dimethylethoxy)-2-oxoethyl]oxy]-alpha-methyl-benzenepropanoic acid (1.07 g, 3.64 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (15 mL) and treat with N-methylmorpholine (0.4 mL, 3.64 mmol). Cool to -20° C. and treat with isobutyl chloroformate (0.47 mL, 3.64 mmol). Stir for 30 minutes and add a solution of 1,3-dipropyl-5,6-diaminouracil (0.82 g, 3.64 mmol) in dimethylformamide (5 mL). Stir for 3 hours at -20° C., warm to room temperature and dilute with ethyl ether (200 mL). Separate the organic phase, wash with water (200 mL) and dry (MgSO4). Evaporate the solvent in vacuo and purify by flash chromatography (5→10% methanol/chloroform then 5→10→20% isopropanol/hexane) to yield the title compound (1.66 g).
