MDPSCL2: A New Protecting Group for Chemoselective Synthesis of 2′-O-Alkylated Guanosines
摘要:
An improved strategy for the synthesis of 2'-O-methyl-guanosine (6) and 2'-MOE-guanosine (8) is reported. The regioselectivity of the alkylation was attained using a novel silicon-based protecting group, methylene-bis (diiso-propyl-silylchloride) (MDPSCl2, 2). The alkylation proceeded in a chemoselective manner using NaHMDS as the base and MeCl or MOE-Br as the appropriate electrophiles.
