Participants

Reaction Steps

2'-O-Tosyladenosine (Compound A1) (4.21 g, 10 mmol) and 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl chloride (7.45 g, 22 mmol) were added to anhydrous pyridine (50 ml), and stirred at room temperature for 20 hours. After ice cooling, 50% aqueous pyridine was added, the mixture was extracted with chloroform, and the organic layer was washed successively with aqueous sodium bicarbonate and water, and dried over magnesium sulfate. After distillating away the chloroform, the pyridine was removed by co-evaporation with toluene, and the residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography eluant: toluene-ethyl acetate-triethylamine→(9:1:0.1) toluene-ethyl acetate-triethylamine-methanol (9:1:0.1:0.2)]. Fractions containing the desired substance were combined and concentrated to give Compound A2 (7.74 g, yield 75%).
