Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

6-Chloropurine riboside (100 mg, 0.35 mmol) was dissolved in 1.75 mL of trimethyl phosphate. Phosphoryl chloride (160 mg, 1.05 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture of 0.17 mL of trimethylphosphate and 6.3 μL of water. Both solutions were cooled to 0° C., mixed and stirred on a magnetic stirrer at 0° C. After 6 hours, ice was added to quench the reaction and the pH was adjusted to 7 by addition of ammonium hydroxide solution. The crude product was then concentrated and purified on a C18 reverse phase column using water as the mobile phase. The fractions containing desired product were combined and lyophilized to dryness to afford 6-chloropurine riboside 5′-phosphate (96 mg, 0.26 mmol, 75%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (D2O, 500 MHz) δ (ppm): 4.20 (m, 2H), 4.42 (m, 1H), 4.55 (t, J=4.6 Hz, 1H), 4.84 (m, 1H), 6.28 (d, J=5.1 Hz, 1H), 8.79 (s, 1H), 8.86 (s, 1H).
