Potassium Carbonate → 9-(2-Chloro-6-fluorobenzyl)-6-methylaminopurine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 6-methylaminopurine (7.45 g, 50 mmols), potassium carbonate (6.9 g, 50 mmols) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (250 ml) was added 2-chloro-6-fluorobenzyl chloride (17.9 g, 100 mmols), and the resultant mixture was allowed to react at 110° C. for 6 hours with stirring. After cooling, the reaction mixture was filtered to remove insoluble materials and the filtrate was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. Upon addition of water to the resultant residue, the formed precipitate was collected by filtration and recrystallized from ethanol to give 9-(2-chloro-6-fluorobenzyl)-6-methylaminopurine as colorless needles (9.08 g, yield 63%), m.p. 188°-190° C.
