Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

46.0 g (0.3 mol) of phosphorus oxychloride was added to 73.1 g (1.0 mol) of N,N-dimethylformamide, and 15.1 g (0.1 mol) of guanine (manufactured by Sumika Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd.) was then added, followed by stirring at 100° C. for 4 hours. After cooling, 100 ml of water was carefully added at 20° C. After stirring at room temperature for 24 hours, the precipitating crystal was collected by filtration and dissolved in 100 ml of 25% aqueous ammonia with heating, and the insoluble substances were filtered out. The mother liquor was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the precipitating crystal was collected by filtration to yield 9.3 g (0.055 mol) of a white crystal of 2-amino-6-chloropurine (yield 55%).
