Abstract
A four chemical step route to 2′-deoxy-2′-fluoro-N6,3′-dipivaloylarabinoadenosine and 2′-deoxy-2′-fluoro-N6-pivaloylarabinoadenosine from adenosine was developed for the preparation of ulevostinag in our STING (Stimulator of Interferon Genes) program. This 4-step route is based on the selective protection of adenosine with a dynamic kinetic crystallization of the desired N6,3′,5′-tripivaloyladenosine. This is followed by activation of the 2′-alcohol as its triflate without pivalate migration. Subsequently, the triflate is displaced with fluoride under mild conditions. Selective deprotection of the esters can give a variety of mono- and diacylated products including the 3′- or 5′-protected 2′-fluoroarabinonucleoside in the presence of the N6-pivalamide.
期刊介绍:
The journal Organic Process Research & Development serves as a communication tool between industrial chemists and chemists working in universities and research institutes. As such, it reports original work from the broad field of industrial process chemistry but also presents academic results that are relevant, or potentially relevant, to industrial applications. Process chemistry is the science that enables the safe, environmentally benign and ultimately economical manufacturing of organic compounds that are required in larger amounts to help address the needs of society. Consequently, the Journal encompasses every aspect of organic chemistry, including all aspects of catalysis, synthetic methodology development and synthetic strategy exploration, but also includes aspects from analytical and solid-state chemistry and chemical engineering, such as work-up tools,process safety, or flow-chemistry. The goal of development and optimization of chemical reactions and processes is their transfer to a larger scale; original work describing such studies and the actual implementation on scale is highly relevant to the journal. However, studies on new developments from either industry, research institutes or academia that have not yet been demonstrated on scale, but where an industrial utility can be expected and where the study has addressed important prerequisites for a scale-up and has given confidence into the reliability and practicality of the chemistry, also serve the mission of OPR&D as a communication tool between the different contributors to the field.
