Participants

Reaction Steps

Carbonic acid (1S,4R)-4-(2,6-dichloro-purin-9-yl)-cyclopent-2-enyl ester ethyl ester (Intermediate AC) (3 g, 8.75 mmol), 5-Ethyl-2H-tetrazole (0.94 g. 9.62 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.40 g, 0.44 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (0.35 g, 1.32 mmol) are placed in an oven-dried flask under an atmosphere of argon. Dry deoxygenated THF (40 mL) is added and the reaction mixture is stirred gently for 5 minutes. Triethylamine (20 mL) is added and the reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture is allowed to cool and the solvent is removed in vacuo. The residue was taken up in methanol (50 mL) and the solid was filtered off-product. 1H nmr (CDCl3, 400 MHz); 8.55 (s, 1H), 6.35 (m, 1H), 6.25 (m, 1H), 6.05 (m, 1H), 5.90 (m, 1H), 3.45 (m, 1H), 2.85 (q, 2H), 2.30 (m, 1H), 1.30 (t, 3H), MS (ES+) m/e 351 (MH+).
