Reaction Steps

((2R,3S,5R)-5-(4-Amino-2-oxopyrimidin-1(2H)-yl)-3-(((((2R,3S,4R,5R)-5-(6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)-3,4-dihydroxytetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methoxy)(hydroxy)phosphoryl)oxy)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methyl dihydrogenphosphate (Compound 1h, 0.32 g, 0.50 mmol) and (S)-cyanomethyl 2-methoxy-3-phenylpropanoate (Compound 7b, 0.44 g, 2.01 mmol) were added to a solution of imidazole (3.40 g, 50.00 mmol) and N,N,N-trimethylhexadecan-1-aminium chloride (3.20 g, 10.00 mmol) dissolved in water (30 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. TFA (1.0 ml) was added to the reaction solution, followed by concentration. The resulting residue was purified by preparative HPLC (0.05% aqueous TFA solution:acetonitrile=84:16→60:40) to afford the title compound (66 mg, 16%).
