Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of compound 1-2 from step 1 (5.85 g, 16.0 mmol) in pyridine (80 mL) is added benzoyl chloride (13.49 g, 96 mmol) and DMAP (0.05 g, 0.4 mmol) at RT. The reaction mixture is heated to 55° C. and then cooled to RT and stirred for 72 h. The reaction mixture is poured into saturated NaHCO3 (400 mL) and ethyl acetate (250 mL) and stirred for 1.5 h. The reaction mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate (2×1 L) and the combined organic extracts are washed with cold HCl (0.1 N, 400 mL), saturated NaHCO3 (1×200 mL), water (2×200 mL), and brine (1×250 mL) and dried (MgSO4). After filtration, the filtrate is concentrated and the crude residue is purified on silica gel column by flash chromatography using ethyl acetate in hexanes (0 to 100%) to afford 6.35 g (58.5%) of 3,4-bis-benzoyloxy-2-benzoyloxymethyl-5-(4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-7-yl)-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1-3) as a gum.
