Bromotrimethylsilane → Tenofovir

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a reaction vessel was added stepwise the product (D) of step (4), acetonitrile and Bromotrimethylsilane, the mixture was refluxed while stirring until the completion of the reaction, volatile liquid was removed under vacuum, the resultant residue was then dissolved in a suitable amount of water, and the resulting solution was adjusted to pH 3.0˜3.5 to give the product 9-[(R)-2-(phosphonomethoxy)propyl]adenine (PMPA). Furthermore, dichloromethane or chloroform could be used as reaction solvent and iodotrimethylsilane or chlorotrimethylsilane/potassium iodide as the deprotection agent.
