Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-chloropurine (5.0 g, 0.032 mole) in 50 ml 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, was added 1 ml ethereal-HCl; followed by a solution of N-(1H-indol-1-yl)-N-propylamine (5.2 g, 0.030 mole) in 50 ml 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone. After stirring at 120° C. for six hours, the mixture was cooled, poured into 500 ml water and stirred for five minutes, pH adjusted to 10 with Na2CO3 ; then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, then dried (saturated NaCl, anhydrous MgSO4). After filtering, the solution was evaporated to an oil, about 8 g, which was eluted on a silica gel column with ethyl acetate via high pressure liquid chromatography. The desired fractions were combined, then evaporated to yield 2.2 g (25%) of N-(1H-indol-1-yl)-N-propyl-9H-purin-6-amine, m.p. 90°-5° C.
