Thymine (180 mg, 1.43 mmol) and a catalytic amount of
(NH4)2SO4 were refluxed in 5 mL of hexamethyldisilazane
(HMDS) in a flame-dried vessel in an Ar atmosphere. The
suspension became clear after 2 h. After 3 h, the excess
of HMDS was distilled off and co-distilled (3×) with dry
xylene. The residue was dissolved in 11 mL MeCN. To this
solution, a solution of methyl 3,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-3-thio-
α,d-ribofuranoside 1 [14] (150 mg, 1.03 mmol) in 4 mL
MeCN was added. The mixture was cooled to −40°C, and
trimethylsilyl triflate (0.24 mL, 1.34 mmol) was added
under vigorous stirring which was continued at −30 to
−40°C for 2 h and finally at room temperature for 12 h.
The reaction mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 and washed
with an aqueous NaHCO3 solution. The organic phase was
dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated. The residue was puri-
fied by chromatography (SiO2, EtOAc) to yield a pure frac-
tion of 113 mg 3a (0.47 mmol, 46%, Rfꢀ=ꢀ0.41) as a colorless,
slowly crystallizing oil, from which single crystals, m.p.
126°C, could be isolated. A second fraction consisted of
42 mg (0.17 mmol, 17%) of an oily 2:1 mixture of 3a and 3b
(Rfꢀ=ꢀ0.35).
