Piperonyl alcohol → [2-(Piperonyloxycarbonyl)-amino-6-iodopurine-9-yl]-acetic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2-amino-6-iodopurine-9-yl)-acetic acid ethyl ester (3.47 g, 10 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (40 mL) was added triphosgene (1.20 g, 4 mmol) at 0° C. After stirring for additional 30 min, N,N-diisopropylethylamine (3.30 g) was slowly added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min at 0° C. Then, piperonyl alcohol (2.30 g, 15 mmol) was added and the resulting reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for additional 1.5 h. To the resulting mixture was added water (50 mL) and ethyl alcohol (50 mL). The solution was concentrated to about 100 mL to precipitate solid. The solid was filtered off, washed with ethyl alcohol, and dried in vacuo to give the desired product (2.40 g, 46%). 1H NMR (500 MHz; DMSO-d6) δ 10.77 (s, 0.5H), 10.69 (s, 0.5H), 8.49 (s, 0.5H), 8.45 (s, 0.5H), 7.01 (s, 1H), 6.94 (d, 1H), 6.91 (d, 1H), 6.02 (s, 2H), 5.11 (s, 1H), 5.07 (s, 2H), 5.06 (s, 1H).
