Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared by a similar method to preparation 11 using 6-(phenethylamino)-9H-purine-2-carbonitrile (3.8 g, 11.2 mmol) (preparation 45), (2R,3R,4R,5S)-5-(acetyloxy)-4-(benzoyloxy)-2-(methoxymethyl)tetrahydro-3-furanyl benzoate and (2R,3R,4R,5R)-5-(acetyloxy)-4-(benzoyloxy)-2-(methoxymethyl)tetrahydro-3-furanyl benzoate (preparation 4) (6 g, 14.5 mmol), ammonium sulfate (200 mg, 1.2 mmol), 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyidisilazane (150 ml), bromotrimethylsilane (8 ml, 177 mmol), acetonitrile (80 ml), dichloromethane (80 ml) and bismuth tribromide (0.35 g, 0.24 mmol). The product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with a solvent system of dichloromethane:methanol (99.5:0.5). This gave the title compound (7.9 g) as a white foam. MS: 619 (MH+).
