The mixture is filtered hot with suction, the filtrate is concentrated under recuced pressure final recrystallization from diisopropylether with addition of petroleum ether.

Procedure: 4.7 g of 7-butyl-3-ethylxanthine, 2.8 g of potassium carbonate, and 4.4 g of 1-bromo-6-hydroxy-6-methylheptane are stirred in 100 ml of dimethylformamide at 120° C. for 7 hours. The mixture is filtered hot with suction, the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure, the residue is taken up in chloroform, washed first with 2 N sodium hydroxide solution and then with water until neutral and dried over sodium sulphate, the solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure whereupon an oily crude product in virtually quantitative yield is obtained which can advantageously be purified by filtration over a silica gel column using a chloroform/methanol (10:1) mixture as mobile phase, followed by a final recrystallization from diisopropylether with addition of petroleum ether.

Procedure: To a solution of 7-bromo-2-methyl-2-trimethylsilyloxyheptane (10) (14.0 g) in methanol (55 ml) at room temperature was added ethanolic hydrogen chloride (ca. 1M, 0.2 ml). After 10 minutes the solution was concentrated in vacuo (at room temperature) to constant weight. The residue was taken up in chloroform and reconcentrated to constant weight to give 7-bromo-2-methyl-2-heptanol (H, n=4, R1 =R2 =Me) as a chromatographically homogenous oil. The product was dissolved in THF (10 ml) and added to a premixed, stirred solution of potassium tert-butoxide (6.7 g) and thiophenol (3.6 ml) in N,N-dimethylformamide (50 ml) at room temperature. After a few minutes a precipitate started forming, and after 30 minutes the mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate (300 ml) and water (200 ml). The organic layer was washed consecutively with 2N sodium hydroxide solution, water and brine. Drying and concentration in vacuo gave 6-hydroxy-6-methylheptyl phenyl sulphide as a chromatographically homogenous oil. This was dissolved in methanol (60 ml), and to the stirred solution was added sodium hydrogen carbonate (4.7 g), aqueous sodium tungstate solution (2%, 5 ml) and hydrogen peroxide (100 vol, 11.8 ml). The initial exothermic reaction which ensued was checked by momentary ice-cooling. The reaction mixture was then stirred at 50° C. for 1 hour. After cooling, the mixture was partitioned between dichloromethane (200 ml) and water. The aqueous layer was extracted with more dichloromethane, and the combined dichloromethane layers were washed with water, brine, and dried. Concentration in vacuo gave a crude product which was purified by chromatography (150 g silica gel; ether as eluant) to give the sulphone (13) as a viscous oil, δ (300 MHz) 1.18 (6H, s), 1.4 (7H, m), 1.75 (2H, m), 3.09 (2H, m), 7.5-7.75 (3H, m), 7.90 (2H, m). After 10 minutes the solution was concentrated in vacuo (at room temperature) to constant weight
