Toluene → (2S,3S,4R,5R)-5-{2-{[({[2-(Diisopropylamino)ethyl]amino}carbonyl)amino]methyl}-6-[(2,2-diphenylethyl)amino]-9H-purin-9-yl}-N-ethyl-3,4-dihydroxytetrahydro-2-furancarboxamide

Reaction Steps

N-[2-(Diisopropylamino)ethyl]-1H-imidazole-1-carboxamide (84 mg, 0.35 mmol) (Preparation 27) was added to a stirred suspension of (2S,3S,4R,5R)-5-{2-(aminomethyl)-6-[(2,2-diphenylethyl)amino]-9H-purin-9-yl}-N-ethyl-3,4-dihydroxytetrahydro-2-furancarboxamide (100 mg, 0.23 mmol) (Preparation 11) in dichloromethane (5 ml) at room temperature. The reaction was then heated to reflux and a drop of isopropanol was added to help dissolve the reagents. The reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 20 minutes and then toluene (5 ml) was added. The dichloromethane was boiled off and the reaction was then heated under reflux for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with dichloromethane:methanol:0.88 concentrated aqueous ammonia (95:5:0.5 by volume increasing to 80:20:2 by volume). The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give a yellow oil. The oil was dissolved in dichloromethane (2 ml) and diethylether was added to induce crystallisation. Filtration gave the title compound as a white solid (70 mg).
