Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of (1S,2S,3R,5S)-3-((5-amino-6-chloro-2-(propylthio)pyrimidin-4-yl)amino)-5-(2-hydroxyethoxy)cyclopentane-1,2-diol (OLACINA; 1.14 g, 3 mmol) in acetic acid (5 mL) was added sodium nitrite (0.23 g, 3.3 mmol) while maintaining the reaction temperature at 20-30° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. It was then diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL), washed with water (2×35 mL) and evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude product was triturated in hexane (20 mL) and filtered to give CLTOL as an off-white powder (1.00 g, 86% yield): 98 area % by HPLC; mp 98-107° C.; 13C NMR (CDCl3, 125 MHz) δ13.4, 22.0, 33.5, 33.7, 61.75, 61.77, 71.1, 74.9, 75.4, 82.0, 131.8, 150.7, 152.9, 171.8.
