Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide → (R)-9-[4-(N-BOC-L-isoleucyloxy)-2-(stearoyloxymethyl)butyl]guanine

Participants

Reaction Steps

(R)-9-[4-Hydroxy-2-(stearoyloxymethyl)butyl]guanine (135 mg, 0.26 mmole) and N-BOC-L-isoleucine (180 mg, 0.78 mmole) was coevaporated with dry DMF twice and dissolved in the same solvent (3.5 ml). To the solution was added 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (160 mg, 0.78 mmole) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (4.8 mg, 0.039 mmole). After reaction for 18 hours, the reaction mixture was filtered through Celite and worked up in a conventional manner. The product was isolated by silica gel column chromatography, eluting at 5% MeOH in CH2Cl2. (Yield 160 mg)
