Diisopropylethylamine → (2R,3R,4S,5R)-2-[2-Chloro-6-((R)-1-methyl-2-phenoxy-ethylamino)-purin-9-yl]-5-hydroxymethyl-tetrahydro-furan-3,4-diol

Reaction Steps

(R)-1-phenoxy-2-propylamine (4.3 g, 23 mmol) was reacted with 9-(2,3,5-tri- O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-2,6-dichloro-9H-purine (11.2 g, 18 mmol) in dioxan (150 ml) in the presence of diisopropylethylamine (5.3 g, 41 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 h, heated at 50° C. for 4 h, and stirred at room temperature for 60 h before being filtered and evaporated. The product (after purification by flash chromatography) was debenzoylated with methanolic ammonia to provide the title 2-chloro- N-[(R)-1-phenoxy-2-propyl]adenosine (after column chromatography) as a foam (4.2 g, 64%), 1H NMR (DMSO-d6)δ 1.31 (3H, d, --CH3), 3.52-3.59 (1H, m, H-5'a), 3.63-3.72 (1H, m, H-5'b), 3.92-3.99 and 4.10-4.21 (4H, 2 m, H-3', H-4' and --CH2 --), 4.52 (1H, dd, H-2'), 4.65 (1H, m, --CH3C H--), 5.07 (1H, t, 5'-OH), 5.22, 5.49 (2H, 2d, 2' and 3'-OH), 5.84 (1H, d, H-1 '), 6.88-7.02 (3H, m, Ar--H), 7.24-7.33 (2H, dd, Ar--H), 8.32-8.45 (2H, s & m, H-8 and N--H).
