The reaction of benzonitrile (I) with refluxing ethylene glycol (II) gives ethylene glycol monobenzoate (III), which is chloromethylated with formaldehyde and dry HCl in CH2Cl2 affording 1-benzoyloxy-2-chloromethoxyethane (IV). The condensation of (IV) with 2,6-dichloropurine (V) by means of triethylamine in DMF yields 2,6-dichloro-9-(2-benzoyloxyethoxymethyl)purine (VI), which is aminated and debenzoylated by treatment with NH3 in methanol at 95 C in a pressure vessel giving 2-chloro-9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)adenine (VII). The Sandmeyer reaction of (VII) with NaNO2 in acetic acid affords 2-chloro-9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)hypoxanthine (VIII), which is finally amonolyzed with ammonia in methanol at 125 C in a pressure vessel.
