Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (E)-9-[4-(diisopropoxyphosphoryl)but-3-enyloxy]adenine (105 mg, 284 μmol) in dichloromethane was added bromotrimethylsilane (0.87 g, 5.68 mmol). The resulting white suspension was stirred at room temperature under dry nitrogen for 18 hr. The solution was evaporated to dryness and the residue azeotroped with methanol (×3). The residue was purified by column chromatography on reverse phase silica gel eluting with water to give (E)-9-(4-phosphonobut-3-enyloxy)adenine as a white solid (68 mg, 84%), m.p. 249°-251° C.; λmax (MeOH) 260 (11,985)nm; υmax (KBr) 3110, 2300, 1695, 1470, 1410, 1330 and 1030 cm-1 ; δH[(CD3)2SO] 2.62 (2H, m, CH2), 4.50 (2t, t, J 7 Hz, CH2O ), 5.94 (1H, dd, J 17 Hz and 22 Hz, PCH=CH), 6.50 (1H, ddt, J 6 Hz, 17 Hz and 22 Hz, PCH=CH), 7.39 (2H, br.s, NH2), 8.16 (1H, s, H-2/H-8), 8.35 (1H, s, H-2/H-8); FABMS (thioglycerol) 286 (MH+) (Found: C, 35.75; H, 4.00; N, 23.14; Br, 5.41%. C9H12N5O4P.0.2HBr requires C, 35.86; H, 4.08; N, 23.24; Br, 5.30%).
