Reaction Steps

2-(2-O-Acetyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)selenazole-4-carboxamide is treated with 1 to 5 equivalents of phosphoryl chloride in the presence of triethylphosphate at 0 degrees C. After complete dissolution is obtained, the solution is poured over crushed ice and adjusted with sodium hydroxide solution to pH 7, extracted with chloroform, and placed on a column of ion exchange resin (Dowex AG 1X8, formate). The column is first washed with water, then the product is eluted with a gradient of water-formic acid. The fractions containing pure product are pooled and evaporated to dryness. The residue is recrystallized from ethanol-water to provide the free acid of the title compound as a crystalline solid.
