Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

6-Chloro-9-ethylthiomethylpurine (1.5 g) and liquid ammonia (20 ml) were placed in a bomb and heated at 60° C. overnight. Evaporation of the ammonia gave a residue which was treated with cold water, filtered, and washed with cold water. This yielded 9-ethylthiomethyladenine (1.17 g) as a white solid, m.p. 140°-142° C. Recrystallization from ethanol gave white plates, m.p. 142°-143° C.
