Reaction Steps

To a solution of compound 75 (0.80 g, 1.0 mmol) in absolute ethanol (2 cm3) was added 20% palladium hydroxide over carbon (0.80 g) and the mixture was degassed several times with hydrogen and stirring was continued under hydrogen for 48 h. The catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using dichloromethane/methanol (99:1, v/v) as eluent to give nucleoside 76A (0.30 g, 49%) as a white solid material. δH (CD3OD) 7.67 (4H, m), 7.45 (1H, d, J 8.2 Hz), 7.34 (4H, m), 5.86 (1H, d, J8.0 Hz), 5.40 (1H, d, J 8.1 Hz), 4.95 (1H, m), 4.35 (1H, d, J5.0 Hz), 4.17 (2H, m), 3.61 (2H, s), 2.40 (6H, s). δC (CD3OD) 165.4, 151.6, 147.5, 146.6, 141.3, 134.0, 133.8, 131.4, 130.9, 129.2, 128.9, 103.7, 88.0, 85.4, 80.7, 72.4, 71.0, 64.3, 21.7, 21.6.
