Methyl Acrylate → Methyl 3-(2-amino-6-(2-furyl)-9H-purine-9-yl)propionate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-(2-furyl)-1H-purine-2-amine (0.70 g, 3.48 mmol) and K2CO3 (0.48 g, 3.48 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was treated with methyl acrylate (3.3 g, 38.3 mmol), stirred for 40 h, diluted with EtOAc, filtered to remove polymeric acrylate, washed with water, dried (MgSO4), concentrated in vacuo and purified by chromatography [SiO2: EtOAc-heptane, (4:1)] to give the title compound (114 mg, 11%) as a white solid.
