Dry 2'-deoxy-2',2'-difluorocytidine (311 mg) was added to dry ethanol and brought to reflux. Succinic anhydride (2.5 g) was added in portions over a half hour period and the mixture was refluxed an additional 1/2 hour. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the resulting crude product was placed on a silica gel column and eluted with a step gradient of 5%, 20%, and 50% methanol in methylene chloride. The desired product was isolated in the 50% methanol in methylene chloride wash and contained 148 mg of material. This product was combined with product from a similar experiment providing a total of 253 mg of material. This material was taken up in 8 ml of 0.01M ammonium acetate solution. The pH was adjusted with ammonium hydroxide to 8.6 and the solution placed on a freshly packed mono-Q anion exchange column (Pharmacia Inc., 800 Centennial Avenue, Piscataway, N.J. 08854). Desired fractions were combined, frozen, and lyophilized. The residue was dissolved in distilled water, frozen, and lyophilized several more times, then dissolved in a small amount of methanol and benzene, frozen, and lyophilized providing 60 mg of the desired title product. The proton NMR spectra was consistent with the structure of the desired product:
