Triphenylphosphine → 7-[(3aS,4R,6R,6aR)-6-(Azidomethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-hexahydrocyclopenta[d][1,3]dioxol-4-yl]-4-chloro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine

Reaction Steps

((3aR,4R,6R,6aS)-6-(4-chloro-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-yl)-2,2-dimethyltetrahydro-3aH-cyclopenta[d][1,3]dioxol-4-yl)methanol (2.68 g, 8.28 mmol) was dissolved in THF (32 mL), treated with PPh3 (3.05 g, 11.6 mmol), and the reaction vessel was cooled in an ice-brine bath. Diisopropyl azodicarboxylate [DIAD] (2.3 mL, 12 mmol) was added dropwise via syringe and the mixture was stirred for 10 min. A solution of diphenylphosphonic azide [DPPA] (2.50 mL, 11.6 mmol) in THF (7.8 mL) was added dropwise via syringe to afford a off-white mixture, which was stirred for 21 h, allowing the ice bath to warm to RT; HPLC/LC MS indicated complete consumption of starting material and formation of product. At 22.5 h the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and purified by column chromatography (4×22 cm silica; 0-25% EtOAc/Hex) to afford the title compound (2.27 g, 78%) as a clear, colorless oil: MS (ESI+) for C15H17ClN6O2 m/z 349.2 (M+H)+; MS (ESI−) for C15H17ClN6O2 m/z 393.2 (M+HCO2)−; HPLC purity >95% (ret. time, 4.169 min).
