Reaction Steps

The starting material (8) (10 g, 20.43 mmol) was azeotroped in dry pyridine (2×100 ml) then dissolved in dry pyridine (160 ml) under N2 atmosphere. Chlorotrimethylsilane (10 ml, 79.07 mmol) added drop wise to the solution and stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. Benzoyl chloride (2.6 ml, 22.40 mmol) was then added to solution and stirred for one further hour. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C., distilled water (50 ml) added slowly to the solution and stirred for 30 minutes. Pyridine and water were evaporated from mixture under high vacuum to yield a brown gel that was portioned between 100 ml of sat. aq. NaHCO3 (100 ml) solution DCM. The organic phase was separated and the aqueous phase extracted with a further (2×100 ml) of DCM. The organic layers were combined, dried (MgSO4), filtered and the volatiles evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting brown oil was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (DCM:MeOH 99:1 to 95:5) to yield a light yellow crystalline solid (13) (8.92 g, 74%). 1H NMR (d6 DMSO): b 0.00 (s, 6H, CH3), 0.78 (s, 9H, tBu), 1.94 (m, 1H, H-2′), 2.27 (m, 1H, H-2′), 3.64 (d, 1H, J=11.6 Hz, H-5′), 3.75 (d, 1H, J=11.6 Hz, H-5′), 3.91 (m, 1H, H-4′), 4.09 (br m, 3H, CH2NH, H-3′), 5.24 (s, 1H, 3′-OH), 6.00 (m, 1H, H-1′), 7.39 (m, 2H, Ph), 7.52 (m, 2H, Ph), 7.86 (m, 1H, Ph), 8.0 (s, 1H, H-6), 9.79 (t, 1H, J=5.4 Hz, NHCH2), 12.67 (br s, 1H, NH).
