Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1S,2R,4R)-4-(6-chloro-9H-purin-9-yl)-2-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopentanol (0.496 g, 0.0018 mol) in DMF (10 mL) was added tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (0.348 g, 0.0023 mol), N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (0.023 g, 0.00019 mol) and imidazole (0.276 g, 0.0041 mol). This solution was stirred for 1 h and then the reaction mixture was quenched with water and diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, concentrated and purified by flash chromatography (0 to 50% EtOAc/DCM) to afford the title compound (0.462 g, 65%).
