2-Chloropyridine → HCID 18646874, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 0.30 g quantity of sodium hydride (60%, dispersion in mineral oil) was added to a solution of 2.00 g of 2'-deoxy-5-fluoro-5'-O-trityluridine in 10 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. To the mixture was added 0.46 ml of 2-chloropyridine. Then the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 3 hours. The solvent was distilled off and the residue was dissolved in 50 ml of ethyl acetate and 30 ml of water. The solution was made into a weak acidic solution by addition of 6N-hydrochloric acid. The ethyl acetate layer was separated, washed with water and concentrated. The residue was dissolved with heating in 20 ml of 80% acetic acid. The solution was left to stand at 80° C. for 1 hour and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in 50 ml of ethyl acetate, and the solution was washed with water, dried on anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using 1% methanol-chloroform as an eluent, giving 1.06 g of 2'-deoxy-5-fluoro-3'-O-(2-pyridyl)uridine in a yield of 80%.
