## Abstract Two new processes were developed for the synthesis of 2,6βdichloroβ3βmethylanilineβPhβULβ^14^C (1), a key intermediate in the synthesis of a Dow Elanco experimental product presently being considered for commercialization. Both processes afford product in much higher yields than that pr

β¦ Synopsis
The synthesis of [8-'4C]-2,6-dichloro-9H-purine (z), a radiolabelled precursor for preparing ''C-labelled nucleosides, is described. Triethyl ['4C]orthoformate was reacted with 4,5-diamino-2,6-dichloropyrimidine (1) in acetonitrile at 90Β°C with methanesutfonic acid as catalyst to generate 2 in 84% radiochemical yield. Reaction of 2. with 1-0acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribofuranose produced [8-'4C]-9-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-P-D-ribofuranosyl)-2,6-dichloropurine (3) in 86% yield. The radiochemical purity of 3 was higher than 98% with a specific activity of 36 mCilmmol. This method has general application to 14C-labelling of purines in drug development.
