Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-chloropurine riboside (0.5 gm, 1.74 mmol), 3-aminotetrahydrofuran (0.325 gm, 2.6 mmol) and triethylamine (0.73 ml, 5.22 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) was heated to 80° C. for 40 hours. The mixture was cooled and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on a short column of silica gel, eluting with methylene chloride/methanol/propylamine (90/10/1). The fractions containing the product were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on a chromatotron (2 mm plate, 92.5/7.5/1, methylene chloride/methanol/propylamine). The resulting white solid was recrystallized from methanol/ethyl acetate to give 0.27 gm of (4S,2R,3R,5R)-2-hydroxymethyl-5-[6-(tetrahydrofuran-3-ylamino)-purin-9-yl]-tetrahydrofuran-3,4-diol as white crystals (mp 128° C.-130° C.).
