3-Methyl-7-aminoxanthine (yield 67percent) and 3-methyl-1,7-diaminoxanthine (7percent) were obtained by the amination of 3-methylxanthine by hydroxylamino-O-sulfonic acid in an alkaline medium.Alkylation of the 3-methyl-7-aminoxanthine potassium salt followed by removal of the N-amino group with nitrous acid led to the formation of 1-R-3-methylxanthines (R = C2H5, C6H5CH2, CH2CN, CH2CO2CH3) with good yields.
