An efficient and chemoselective synthesis of 2′-O-methylguanosine (6) has been accomplished in high yield without protection of the guanine base. The salient feature of the synthesis of 6 lies in the application of methylene-bis-(diisopropylsilyl chloride), (MDPSCl2, 2) as a new 3′,5′-O-protecting group for nucleosides. Use of CH3Cl as a weak electrophile and NaHMDS as a mild base was crucial to the success of the 2′-O-methylation of 3′,5′-O-protected guanosine.
Reagent and process for protecting active groups

Silylating reagents having a group other than a divalent oxygen separating two silyl groups provide regioselective protection of reactive groups under robust conditions, such as basic conditions used in alkylation, acylation and deoxygenation. In particular, silylating reagents having a group other than oxygen separating two silyl groups are useful for protecting two hydroxy groups of a ribonucleic or deoxyribonucleic acid. Alkylation of a 2′-hydroxy group of a ribonucleoside protected with the inventive silylating agents in the presence of an excess of a mild hindered base such as sodium HMDS may be carried out without protecting the exocyclic amine and oxo functionalities of nucleobases.
