2,2-Dimethoxypropane → {(3aR,4R,6R,6aS)-6-[(6-Chloropyrimidin-4-yl)amino}-2,2-dimethyltetrahydro-3aH-cyclopenta[d][1,3]dioxol-4-yl]methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (1R,2S,3R,5R)-3-[(6-chloropyrimidin-4-yl)amino]-5-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopentane-1,2-diol (255 mg, 0.982 mmol), p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (187 mg, 0.982 mmol) and 2,2-dimethoxypropane (0.670 mL, 0.545 mmol) in MeOH (5.00 mL) was stirred overnight. The reaction was quenched via addition of saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution (10 mL) and MeOH was removed in vacuo. The aqueous mixture was extracted with DCM (4×20 mL) and the combined organics were concentrated in vacuo. The crude mixture was purified via silica gel chromatography eluting with a gradient of 0 to 10% MeOH in DCM to afford the title compound (135 mg, 45.8%). LC/MS: Rt=1.77 min, ES+ 300. (AA standard).
