Reaction Steps

Coupling of 2b with adenine in THF in the presence of Ph3P and DEAD formed the desired N9 -substituted derivative 1a in only 5% yield. The low yield may be due to the insolubility of adenine in THF. After replacement of THF with DMF, compound 1a was produced in 43% yield without any detection of the N7 - derivative or the N9 -ethyladenine.
