Participants

Reaction Steps

2′-O-(dimethylaminooxyethyl)-5-methyluridine (750 mg, 2.17 mmol) was dried over P2O5 under high vacuum overnight at 40° C. It was then co-evaporated with anhydrous pyridine (20 mL). The residue obtained was dissolved in pyridine (11 mL) under argon atmosphere. 4-dimethylaminopyridine (26.5 mg, 2.60 mmol), 4,4′-dimethoxytrityl chloride (880 mg, 2.60 mmol) was added to the mixture and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature until all of the starting material disappeared. Pyridine was removed under vacuum and the reside chromatographed and eluted with 10% MeOH in CH2Cl2 (containing a few drops of pyridine) to get 5′-O-DMT-2′-O-(dimethylamino-oxyethyl-5-methyluridine (1.13 g, 80%).
