Abstract

6-Allyloxypurines readily undergo palladium-catalysed Claisen rearrangement under mild conditions affording N 1-substituted hypoxanthines. In contrast with the previously reported protocol, the Claisen rearrangement can be performed using Pd(PPh3)4 or Pd(dba)2/dppf in dry THF at 60°C. The reaction can accommodate variously substituted allyl fragments to position N 1 of the hypoxanthine skeleton with high yields. Retention of the double bond configuration during rearrangement was observed.
