12-Trifluoroacetamido-1-dodecyne → 5-(12-Trifluoroacetamido1-dodecynyl)-2',3'-dideoxyuridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Protected alkynylamine 63 was coupled for 24 h to 5-iodo-2',3'-dideoxyuridine (47, 676.2 mg, 2.00 mmol, prepared as described in Example 2A) following the general procedure described in EXAMPLE 1C. Chromatography on silica gel (100 g) eluting with a 0-5% methanol in dichloromethane gradient afforded a dark red foam. The red impurity was removed by chromatography on a reverse phase column (100 g, octadecylsilane on 40 micrometer silica gel, Baker) with 40% water in methanol. The appropriate fractions were combined, concentrated, and co-evaporated twice with absolute ethanol to afford 731 mg of alkynylamino nucleoside 60 as a clear oil. This material was homogeneous by TLC and NMR except for the presence of residual ethanol (25 mole %, corrected yield 73%).
