Ammonium fluoride → Sonedenoson

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3438.4 g (4.51 mol) of 6-amino-2-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)ethoxy]-9-(2,3,5-tri-O-tert-butyldimethyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)purine in 48.4 L of methanol was added 1.679 g (45.32 mol) of ammonium fluoride. The solution was heated to reflux and monitored by HPLC to determine completion. The reaction was allowed to cool to room temperature and the solvent was concentrated under reduced pressure. The reaction mixture was partitioned between water (17.3 L) and ethyl acetate (17.3 L). The aqueous layer was washed again with ethyl acetate (17.4 L). The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate (1000 g), filtered and removed under reduced pressure. The resultant solid was recrystallized from ethanol (9.87 L) to yield an off-white solid (1139 g, 59.8% yield).
