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), (MDPSCl(2), 2) as a new 3',5'-O-protecting group for nucleosides. Use of CH(3)Cl 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.
