Although several procedures to accomplish this synthetic step have been suggested, it still remains difficult in many cases. Results Ring closure

In the present study we have investigated whether the critical cyclization step to obtain the purine ring from a uracil precursor could be further improved by applying

Previous experiments have shown that reaction times can be considerably shortened if HMDS is used at very high temperatures under elevated pressure (e.g. 170°C in a sealed pressure tube

Thus new routes for the synthesis of these molecules have attracted considerable attention in search for a rapid entry to these heterocycles and their diverse biological properties.
