Participants

Reaction Steps

5% Palladium on carbon (14.21 g, 50% wet, 3.339 mmol, Aldrich 330116) was placed in a Parr bottle under nitrogen, followed by MeOH (242 mL, JT-Baker 909333) and NEt3 (46.54 mL, 333.9 mmol, Sigma-Aldrich 471283). 2-[5-(4-Amino-2-fluoro-5-nitro-3-tetrahydrofuran-2-yl-phenyl)pyrimidin-2-yl]propan-2-ol (20) (121.0 g, 333.9 mmol) was dissolved in hot THF (360 mL), allowed to cool, added to the reaction mixture, and rinsed the residual amount of 20 with another portion of THF (124 mL). The bottle was placed on a Parr shaker and saturated with H2. After adding 45 psi H2, the bottle was shaken until consumption of 20 was complete (HPLC and LCMS showed complete reaction). The reaction mixture was purged with nitrogen, filtered through Celite™ and rinsed with EtOAc. It was re-filtered through paper (glass microfiber) and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo. The reaction was repeated three more times on the same scale and the batches were combined giving 21 as a brown solid (447 g, 99% yield; 93% HPLC purity). LCMS (C18 column eluting with 10-90% CH3CN/water gradient over 5 minutes with formic acid modifier) M+1: 333.46 (1.79 min). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.81 (d, J=1.4 Hz, 2H), 6.69 (d, J=7.3 Hz, 1H), 5.27-5.20 (m, 1H), 4.73 (s, 1H), 4.70 (s, 2H), 4.23-4.14 (m, 1H), 3.94-3.86 (m, 1H), 3.22 (s, 2H), 2.32-2.22 (m, 1H), 2.18-1.99 (m, 3H), 1.63 (s, 6H) ppm.
