PREPARATION EXAMPLES
Preparation 1
8-(2-Ethoxyphenyl)-6-ethyl-6,9-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-i]purin-5-one

a) A solution of 2-ethoxybenzoyl chloride (12.0 g, 65 mmol) in dimethylformamide (10 mL) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 5,6-diamino-1-ethyl-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione (10.4 g, 61 mmol) and triethylamine (9.8 mL, 65 mmol) in dimethylformamide (250 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred for 20 hours at room temperature, then evaporated under reduced pressure. Aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (1N, 98 mL, 98 mmol) was added and the mixture heated under reflux for 6 hours. The resulting solution was acidified with 1N hydrochloric acid and the precipitate collected and dried by suction to give 8-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-3-ethyl-3,7-dihydropurine-2,6-dione as a beige solid (7.0 g, 72%).


b) Phosphorus pentasulphide (5.5 g, 12.4 mmol) was added portionwise to a stirred suspension of the above compound (7.0 g, 23.3 mmol) in pyridine (115 mL) and the resulting mixture stirred under reflux for 3 hours, then evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was triturated with hydrochloric acid (2N, 100 mL) and the precipitate collected by filtration and dried under vacuum to yield 8-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-3-ethyl-6-mercapto-3,7-dihydropurin-2-one (6.9 g, 95%) as a pale brown solid.


c) A stirred mixture of the above compound (6.9 g, 21.8 mmol) and hydrazine monohydrate (100 mL) was heated to 130 C. for 3 hours. The resulting mixture was cooled and the precipitate collected by filtration and washed with water and ethanol, then dried under vacuum to yield 8-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-3-ethyl-6-hydrazino-3,7-dihydropurin-2-one (6.6 g, 97%) as an off-white solid.


d) A stirred mixture of the above compound (6.6 g, 21.0 mmol) and formic acid (110 mL) was heated under reflux for 2 hours. The resulting solution was concentrated under vacuum and the residue partitioned between dichloromethane and aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, then the organic phase separated, washed with water, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure to yield the title product (5.4 g, 79%) as an off-white solid.

Preparation 35
Azetidin-3-ylmethyldimethylamine, dihydrochloride

a) A solution of 1-(1,1-diphenylmethyl)azetidine-3-carbonitrile (7.8 g, 31.4 mmol) in 30 mL of tetrahydrofuran was slowly added to a suspension of lithium aluminium hydride (4.0 g, 105 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran under nitrogen and the resulting mixture was stirred under reflux for one hour. On cooling, the mixture was treated dropwise with water (4 mL), aqueous sodium hydroxyde (4 mL, 4N), and water (12 mL) and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 3-(aminomethyl)-1-(1,1-diphenylmethyl)azetidine as a white solid (5.2 g, 73%).


b) A mixture of 3-(aminomethyl)-1(1,1-diphenyl methyl)azetidine (10.9 g, 43 mmol), formaldehyde (21.8 mL) and formic acid (21.8 mL) was stirred under reflux for one hour and then evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was mixed with ice, basified with aqueous sodium hydroxyde 2N and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic solution was washed with water, brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure to yield [1-(1,1-diphenylmethyl)azetidin-3-ylmethyl]dimethylamine (10.4 g, 86%) as an oil.


δ (CDCl3): 2.16 (6H, s), 2.44 (2H, d), 2.6–2.8 (4H, m), 3.38 (2H, t), 4.32 (1H, s), 7.1–7.3 (10 H, m).


c) Hydrogen chloride in methanol was added to a mixture of [1-(1,1-diphenylmethyl)azetidin-3-ylmethyl]dimethylamine (9.9 g, 35 mmol) in methanol (150 mL) until pH=4. Palladium hydroxyde (1.5 g, 20%) was added and the resulting mixture hydrogenated at room temperature at 50 p.s.i. for 4 days. The mixture was filtered through Celite and the filtrate evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (5.0 g, 76%) as a white solid.


δ (DMSO-d6): 2.72 (6H, s), 3,2–4.1 (8H, m).

a) A mixture of (1S,4S)-2,5-diazabicyclo[2–2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.5 g, 2.52 mmol)), 2-(2-bromoethoxy)tetrahydropyran (0.42 mL, 2.77 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.2 g, 8.82 mmol) in 4-methylpentan-2-one was stirred under reflux overnight. The resulting mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between water and dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure to yield 5-[2-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)ethyl]-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.80 g, quantitative) as an oil.


b) A mixture of 5-[2-(tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)ethyl]-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.80 mmol, 2.4 mmol) and aqueous hydrochloric acid (2 mL, 2N) in ethanol (10 mL) was stirred under reflux for one hour and then evaporated under reduced pressure to yield crude (1S,4S)-2-(2,5-Diazabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl)ethanol, dihydrochloride (0.51 g) as a dark oil which was used in the next step without further purification.


Preparation 37
2-Methyl-2-piperazin-1-ylpropan-1-ol

a) A mixture of piperazine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (8.8 g, 40 mmol), 2-bromo-2-methylpropionic acid ethyl ester and potassium carbonate was stirred at 150° C. for 24 h. On cooling, the resulting mixture was partitioned between dichloromethane and water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure to give 4-(1-Ethoxycarbonyl-1-methyl-ethyl)-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (10.2 g, 77%) as an oil.


b) A solution of 4-(1-ethoxycarbonyl-1-methyl-ethyl)-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (3.5 g, 10.5 mmol) in 10 mL of dry ether was slowly added to a suspension of lithium aluminium hydride (0.3 g, 105 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran at −15° C. under nitrogen and the resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 3 hours. On cooling, the mixture was treated dropwise with water (0.3 mL), aqueous sodium hydroxyde (0.3 mL, 4N), and water (0.9 mL) and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 4-(2-hydroxy-1,1-dimethyl ethyl)piperazine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester as a white solid (1.2 g, 41%).


c) A mixture of 4-(2-hydroxy-1,1-dimethylethyl)piperazine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (3.0 g, 10.3 mmol) in methanol (70 mL) and palladium on charcoal (0.5 g, 10%) was hydrogenated at room temperature at 40 p.s.i. overnight. The mixture was filtered through Celite and the filtrate evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (1.55 g, 98%) as a white solid.


δ (DMSO-d6): 0.92 (6H, s), 2.52 (4H, m), 2.75 (4H, m), 3.23 (2H, s), 4.8 (2H, bs).
