Reaction Steps

A solution of 40 (4.50 g, 7.86 mmol) was dissolved in sat. methanolic ammonia (60 mL). The reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. for 17 h in a steel bomb. The reaction vessel was cooled to room temperature and concentrated to yield an oil. The reside was further purified by silica gel flash column chromatography using dichloromethane and methanol (9:1) as the eluent. Pure fractions were collected and evaporated to give a white solid. This was further recyrstallized from 2-propanol to afford 1.98 g (94%) of pure 41: mp 175-177° C.; 1H NMR (Me2SO-d6) δ2.24 (s, 3H, CH3), 3.42-3.57 (m, 2H, C5′H), 3.68 (m, 1H, C4′H), 4.0 (m, 1H, C3′H), 4.53 (m, 1H, C2′H), 4.68, 4.94, 5.22 (m, 3H, 3 OH, D2O exchangeable), 5.43 (d, 1H, C1′H, J1′,2′=3.85 Hz), 5.56 (s, 1H, C5H) and 11.25 (s, 1H, NH). Anal. Calc. for C10H14N2O6 (258.23): C, 46.51; H, 5.46; N, 10.85. Found: C, 46.66; H, 5.26; N, 10.66.
