This example illustrates the synthesis of 1-(11-Dodecenyl)-3,7-dimethylxanthine (CT2516). To a suspension of magnesium (6.4 g, 265 mmol) and a crystal of iodine in tetrahydrofuran (40 ml) was added 10-undecenyl bromide (12.25 g, 53.0 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) over 30 min and the reaction stirred for a further 30 min after the addition was complete. The solution was added via a canula over 5 min to a suspension of paraformaldehyde (1.80 g, 60.0 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (40 ml) and stirred at 25° C. for 16 hr. Saturated ammonium chloride (80 ml) was added and extracted with diethyl ether (2×100 ml). The combined organic extracts were dried (magnesium sulfate) and evaporated to give a residue which was distilled at 2 mm Hg to afford 11-dodecenyl alcohol as a clear liquid (6.53 g, 67%, b.p. 105°-107° C.).
