The synthesis of 10-EDAM is as follows: 3-Methoxyallyl chloride (II) is prepared in situ by treatment of 1-methoxyallene (I) with an equivalent of HCl in ether at low temperature. The dianion of p-n-propylbenzoic acid is generated in THF at 0-5 C by lithium diisopropyl amide and subsequently alkylated with (II). The resulting 4-(p-carboxyphenyl)-1-methoxy-1-hexene (III) is brominated at pH 7-8 to give the alpha-bromoaldehyde acid (IV). Condensation with tetraaminopyrimidine in aqueous AcOH and subsequent in situ oxidation of the resultant dihydropteridine affords crystalline 10-ethyl-10-deaza-4-amino-4-desoxypteroic acid (V). Coupling of (V) with diethyl L-glutamate via the mixed anhydride method using isobutyl chloroformate affords the diethyl ester of 10-EDAM (VI). Following chromatographic purification on silica gel, the diester is saponified with 1N NaOH in methoxyethanol at room temperature to yield 10-EDAM.
