Methanol → 2'-O-{2-[(Dimethylamino)oxy]ethyl}-5-methyluridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine trihydrofluoride (3.9 mL, 24.0 mmol) was dissolved in dry THF and triethylamine (1.67 mL, 12 mmol, dry, kept over KOH). This mixture of triethylamine-2HF was then added to 5′—O-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl-2′—O-[N,N-dimethylaminooxyethyl]-5-methyluridine (1.40 g, 2.4 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for 24 hrs. Reaction was monitored by TLC (5% MeOH in CH2Cl2). Solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue placed on a flash column and eluted with 10% MEOH in CH2Cl2 to get 2′—O-(dimethylaminooxyethyl)-5-methyluridine (766 mg, 92.5%).
