. 65, 412 (1987). Deoxyfluoro sugars were synthesized rapidly by the reaction of trifluoromethanesulfonyl derivatives of partially protected sugars with tris(dimethylarnino)sulfonium difluorotrimethylsilicate (TASF) under mild conditions. The displacements occurred with inversion of configuration; fluorine has been introduced stereospecifically at each of the secondary alcoholic sites of aldohexopyranosides and in one example of a furanoid system. In some instances unsaturated compounds that contained no fluorine were produced. BOGDAN DOBOSZEWSKI, GEORGE W. HAY et WALTER A. SZAREK. Can. J. Chem. 65,412 (1987). On a realist une synthkse rapide de sucres dtsoxyfluorCs en faisant rCagir des derives trifluoromCthanesulfonylCs de sucres partiellement proteges avec du difluorotrimCthylsilicate de tris(dimCthy1amino)sulfonium (TASF), utilisant des conditions douces. Les reactions de deplacement se font avec inversion de configuration; on a pu introduire d'une facon spkcifique des atomes de fluor au niveau de chacun des sites alcooliques secondaires des aldohexopyrannosides et dans un exemple de systtme furannoide. Dans quelques cas, on a obtenu des compos6s insatures qui ne contenaient pas de fluor.[Traduit par la revue]
In order to study the structure-activity relationships of 2',3'-dideoxypurine nucleosides as potential anti-HIV agents, various 6-substituted purine analogues have been synthesized and examined in virus-infected and uninfected human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. N6-methyl-2',3'-dideoxyadenosine (D2MeA, 7a) was initially synthesized from adenosine via 2',3'-O-bisxanthate 3. As extension of this reaction to other N6-substituted compounds failed, a total synthetic method utilizing 2',3'-dideoxyribose derivative 9 was used for the synthesis of other purine nucleosides. An acid-stable derivative of N6-methyl-2',3'-dideoxyadenosine, 2'-fluoroarabinofuranosyl analogue 32 (D2MeFA), has been synthesized from the appropriate carbohydrate 24 by condensation with N6-methyladenine 23. Among these compounds, N6-methyl derivative (D2MeA) 7a proved to be one of the most potent antiviral agents. The order of potency for the 6-substituted compounds was NHMe greater than NH2 greater than Cl approximately N(Me)2 greater than SMe greater than OH approximately NHEt greater than SH greater than NHBn approximately H. The results suggest that a bulk tolerance effect at the 6-position of the 2',3'-dideoxypurine nucleoside may dictate the antiviral activity of these compounds. Acid-stable analogue 32 (D2MeFA) was found to be 20-fold less potent than the parent compound. Both D2MeA and D2MeFA were resistant to calf intestine adenosine deaminase. The presence of a fluorine atom in the carbohydrate moiety greatly increased stability to acid, making D2MeFA a potential orally active antiviral agent that could be useful for the treatment of retroviral infections in humans.
Treatment of a 1,2-O-isopropylidene-3-ketopentofuranose derivative (obtained from D-glucose) with [(ethoxycarbonyl)methylene]triphenylphosphorane and catalytic hydrogenation of the resulting alkene gave stereodefined access to 3-(carboxymethyl)-3-deoxy-D-ribofuranose derivatives. Esters of 5-O-acetyl- or 5-azido-5-deoxy-3-(carboxymethyl)-D-ribofuranose were coupled with nucleobases to give branched-chain nucleoside derivatives. Ester saponification and protecting group manipulation provided 2'-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl) ethers of 5'-azido-5'-deoxy- or 5'-O-(dimethoxytrityl) derivatives of 3'-(carboxymethyl)-3'-deoxyribonucleosides that are effective precursors for synthesis of amide-linked oligoribonucleosides.
Treatment of tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) derivatives of 3'-keto(adenosine or uridine) with [(ethoxycarbonyl)methylene]triphenylphosphorane gave exocyclic alkenes that underwent stereoselective hydrogenation to give 3'-deoxy-3'-[(ethoxycarbonyl)methyl](Ado or Urd) analogues. Saponification provided the 3'-(carboxymethyl)-3'-deoxy(Ado and Urd) derivatives 37 and 38. Treatment of 37 or 38 with DCC and 5'-amino-2',3'-bis-O-TBDMS-5'-deoxynucleosides gave the amide-linked dimers (74-82%). Activation of 37 or 38 with 4-nitrophenol/DCC, and direct coupling of the 4-nitrophenyl esters with 5'-amino-5'-deoxy(Ado or Urd) in pyridine also produced amide dimers efficiently (65-70%). Analogous activation of a 5'-O-DMT-protected carboxylate, and its coupling with 5'-amino-5'-deoxy-2'-O-methyladenosine gave the amide dimer in good yield (74%). Coupling (DCC) of a 5'-azido-2'-O-TBDMS-3'-(carboxymethyl)-3',5'-dideoxyuridine intermediate with 5'-amino-5'-deoxynucleosides gave amide-linked dimers (72-78%) that can serve as masked (azide reduction) 5'-amino dimers for analogous synthesis of extended amide-linked oligomers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
