“…1 H NMR (CD 3 OD): δ 7.32-7.18 (m, 5H), 3.93 (dd, J ) 12.0, 6.0 Hz, 2H), 3.72 (s, 2H), 3.64 (dd, J ) 12.0, 6.0 Hz, 2H), 2.54 (d, J ) 6.0 Hz, 2H), 1.89 (m, 1H), 1.31 (s, 6H). (27). Acetic acid (0.122 mL, 2.13 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of compound 81 (100 mg, 0.43 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (2 mL) followed by 9-deazahypoxanthine (75) 10 (115 mg, 0.85 mmol) and the resulting suspension heated at 95 °C (bath temperature) for 16 h. After cooling to room temperature silica gel (1.0 g) was added and the mixture concentrated in vacuo.…”
