Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture comprising (2S,3S,4R,5R)-5-[2-((R)-3-Amino-pyrrolidin-1-yl)-6-(2,2-diphenyl-ethylamino)-purin-9-yl]-3,4-dihydroxy-tetrahydro-furan-2-carboxylic acid ethylamide trifluoroacetate (Intermediate E) and 3,4-dimethoxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione in absolute EtOH and cat.DMAP is heated using microwave radiation in a Personal Chemistry Emrys™ Optimizer microwave reactor at 120° C. for 1 hour. The solvent is removed in vacuo and the resulting crude product partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic portion is separated, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with EtOAc/iso-hexane (30-100% EtOAc) affords the titled compound.
