Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5.9 g of 6-amino-3-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-β-D-arabinofuranosyl)-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazo-[4,5-c]pyridin-4-one, one g of 20% palladium on carbon, 5 ml of acetic acid, and 95 ml of methoxyethanol is hydrogenated at 50° C. and ca 3 atmospheres until hydrogen uptake ceases, the mixture is filtered, evaporated in vacuo, and co-evaporated with xylenes to provide a syrup which is dissolved in water and treated with 50 ml of wet IR-45 ion exchange resin. The resin is filtered, washed several times with boiling water and the combined filtrates are evaporated in vacuo to provide 2.5 g of crude product. Recrystallization from ethanol-water provides 0.42 g of 6-amino-3-β-D-arabinofuranosyl-3,5-dihydro-4H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-one.
