Reaction Steps

To a stirring suspension of 2-[5-(4,5-diamino-2-fluoro-3-tetrahydrofuran-2-yl-phenyl)pyrimidin-2-yl]propan-2-ol (21) (111.3 g, 334.9 mmol) and 1,4-dioxane (556.5 mL, Sigma-Aldrich 360481) was added 1-ethyl-3-(N-(ethylcarbamoyl)-C-methylsulfanyl-carbonimidoyl)urea (10) (93.36 g, 401.9 mmol, CB Research and Development) followed by a pH 3.5 buffer (1.113 L), prepared by dissolving NaOAc trihydrate (158.1 g) in 1N aqueous H2SO4 (1.100 L). The reaction mixture was stirred at reflux overnight (HPLC showed complete conversion), cooled to room temperature, and poured portion-wise (to minimize frothing) into a stirring solution of aqueous saturated NaHCO3 (2.23 L) giving pH 8-9. The resulting mixture was stirred for 30 minutes, the solid was collected by filtration, washed copiously with water to neutral pH, and then more sparingly with EtOH. The solid was dried under reduced pressure giving 22 as an off-white yellowish solid (135.2 g, 94% yield; 99% HPLC purity). LCMS (C18 column eluting with 10-90% CH3CN/water gradient over 5 minutes with formic acid modifier) M+1: 429.58 (2.03 min). 1H NMR (300 MHz, MeOD) δ 8.95 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 2H), 7.45 (d, J=6.5 Hz, 1H), 5.38 (br.s, 1H), 4.27 (dd, J=14.9, 7.1 Hz, 1H), 4.01 (dd, J=15.1, 7.0 Hz, 1H), 3.37-3.29 (m, 2H), 2.55 (br.s, 1H), 2.19-2.07 (m, 2H), 2.02-1.82 (br.s, 1H), 1.63 (s, 6H), 1.21 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H) ppm.
