Participants

Reaction Steps

3,4-Dichloro-2-(isopropylamino)-1H-benzimidazole (2.01 g, 7.31 mmol), N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide (2.0 mL, 1.65 g, 8.09 mmol), trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (0.9 mL, 1.06 g, 4.50 mmol), 1,2,3,5-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-L-ribofuranose (3.03 g, 9.52 mmol) and 1,2-dichloroethane (35 mL) were used according to general procedure II. The product was purified by silica gel chromatography using 95:5 dichloromethane/acetonitrile to afford 2.08 g (56%) of a yellow foam. MS (EI): m/z 502.0 (M+H).
