Title: | Method and compositions for the synthesis of BCH-189 and related compounds |
Abstract: | The present invention relates to a method of preparing BCH-189 and various analogs of BCH-189 from inexpensive precursors with the option of introducing functionality as needed. This synthetic route allows the stereoselective preparation of the biologically active isomer of these compounds, .beta.-BCH-189 and related compounds. Furthermore, the steochemistry at the nucleoside 4' position can be controlled to produce enantiomerically-enriched .beta.-BCH-189 and its analogs. |

Filing Date: | Jun 07, 1995 |
Application Number: | 08/472,345 |
Claims: | 1. A method of preparing a .beta.-1,3-oxathiolane pyrimidine nucleoside, comprising reacting a compound of the formula: ##STR8## wherein R' is an acyl group and R is an oxygen protecting group, with a pyrimidine base in the presence of SnCl, wherein the pyrimidine base had the formula: ##STR9## wherein X is a trialkylsilylamino group; Z is a trialkylsilyl group; and Y is fluoro. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the oxygen protecting group is a trialkylsilyl group or a t-butyldiphenylsilyl group. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein R' is an acetate. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein the trialkylsilyl group is trimethylsilyl . |
