Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → 3'-[(Acetyloxy)methyl]-3'-deoxythymidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Compound 183 (2.00 g, 3.73 mmol) was dissolved in dry THF (36 ml) and tetrabutylammonium fluoride (8.8 ml, 1.0 M solution in THF, 2.4 equiv.) was added via syringe at room temperature under an atmosphere of argon. After completion of the reaction (1.5 hours), as was monitored by tlc in EtOAc (Rf 0.42), the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel flash column chromatography in EtOAc/Hexane (4:6-9:1, v/v) to afford 184 (0.63 g, 57%) 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ8.89 (br, 1 H, NH), 7.55 (d, 1 H, J=1.1 Hz, H6), 6.13 (dd, 1 H, J=4.9, 6.6 Hz, H-1'), 4.17 & 4.09 (m, 2 H, CH2 -OAc), 4.07 (d, 1 H, J=11.7 Hz, H-5' & H-5'), 3.94-3.90 (m, 1 H, H-4'), 3.76 (d, 1H, J=11.7 Hz, H-5), 2.80-2.76 (m, 1 H, H-3'), 2.60 (br, 1 H, OH), 2.29-2.25 (m, 2 H, H2' & H-2"), 2.09 (s, 3 H, COCH3), 1.91 (s, 9 H, C(CH3)3); 13C NMR (CDCl3): 170.8 (C=O), 163.8 (C4), 150.3 (C2), 136.3 (C6), 110.8 (C5), 85.4 (C1'), 83.5 (C4'), 64.2 (C5'), 36.8 (C3'), 35 35.6 (C2'), 20.8, 12.5;
