This example illustrates a method for synthesis of CT1505 (1-(5-oxohexyl)-3-methylxanthine). A mixture of 3-methylxanthine (1.00 g, 6.0 mmol) and NaH (145 mg, 6.0 mmol) in DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) (20 ml) was stirred until homogeneous (about 30 min). Chloromethylpivalate (865 μl, 904 mg, 6.0 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 18 hrs. The reaction mixture was poured into 70 ml of water and extracted with 25% ethanol/dichloromethane (4×60 ml). The combined organic extracts were combined, dried with sodium sulfate, and then evaporated in a rotoevaporator to a volume of 40 ml. The solution was cooled in ice water and it formed a thick, white precipitate. The solid was filtered off under suction and dried under vacuum to give the 3-methyl-7-(methylpivaloyl)xanthine (1.43 g, 5.4 mmol, 90% yield).
