Reaction Steps

FIG. 19 presents the method used to synthesize 2-amino-6-phenethyl-3,7-dihydro-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one 9. Phenylpropanoyl chloride7 was reacted with CH2N2 in the presence of gaseous hydrogen chloride and ether to produce 1-chloro-4-phenyl-2-butanone 8. 1-chloro-4-phenyl-2-butanone 8 was reacted with 2,6-diamino-3H-pyrimidin-4-one 1 to produce 2-amino-6-phenethyl-3,7-dihydro-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one 9 at a 39% yield.
