beta-D-Ribofuranose, 1-acetate 2,3,5-tribenzoate

DefinitionThe commonly used 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5- tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranose (beta-D-Ribofuranose 1-acetate 2,3,5-tribenzoate) can be employed in the glycosylation of 7-deazapurines when 7-halogenated nucleobases are used. Using common ribosugars such as 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranose resulted in the formation of orthoamides when the pyrrole ring was not functionalized. The glycosylation yield and glycosylation position of 7-deazapurines with 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranose depends strongly on 7-substituents (H vs halogen) and amino protecting groups. It could be used to synthesize 5-Bromo-4-chloro-2-[(N2-isobutyryl){2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-Dribofuranosyl}]amino-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine.
