Abstract
7,8,9-Trisubstituted dihydropurine derivatives were prepared from 5-amino-4-(N,N-disubstituted)aminopyrimidines and aromatic aldehydes via a cascade of reactions. The key transformation for the reaction is a [1,6]-hydrogen shift due to a ‘tert-amino effect’.
Key words
tert-amino effect - dihydropurine - hydrogen transfer - imines - cyclizations

General Procedure
for Syntheses of 6-Chloro-7,8,9-trisubstituted Dihydropurines
Pyrimidinediamine 1 (0.65 mmol), the appropriate aldehyde (0.975
mmol), and TFA (0.6 mL) were dissolved in MeCN (10.0 mL) and stirred
under reflux for 1-12 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated
in vacuo, diluted with EtOAc (15 mL), and washed with sat. NaHCO3 (3 × 15
mL). The water layer was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 10 mL).
The combined EtOAc layer was washed with brine, dried over anhyd Na2SO4,
concentrated in vacuo, and purified by flash chromatography on SiO2 to
furnish the cyclized product 3.
