Reaktionsschritte

n-Butyl nitrite (4.65 ml, 39.7 mmol) was added to a suspension of (2R,3R,4S,5S)-2-(2-amino-6-chloro-9H-purin-9-yl)-4-(benzoyloxy)-5-[(ethylamino)carbonyl]-tetrahydro-3-furanyl benzoate (Preparation 46) (8.10 g, 14.7 mmol), iodine (3.73 g, 14.7 mmol), copper(I) iodide (6.16 g, 32.3 mmol) and diiodomethane (12.55 ml, 155.8 mmol) in THF (100 ml) and the mixture was heated under reflux for 2.5 hours. The solution was allowed to cool to room temperature and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between 5% w/w aqueous sodium metabisulfite solution (100 ml) and dichloromethane (100 ml). The organic layer was separated, filtered through Arbocel (Trade Mark), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with dichloromethane: methanol (99:1 by volume) to afford the title compound as a yellow foam (7.55 g).
