Condensation of 7-ethyl-8-hydrazinotheophylline 1 with aldohexoses 2-4 and aldopentoses 5,6 by heating in an aqueous ethanolic solution and in the presence of a catalytic amount of acetic acid gives the corresponding hitherto unknown aldehydo-sugar (7-ethyl-8-theophyllinyl)hydrazones 7-11. The structures of the sugar hydrazones 7-11 were confirmed by their elemental analyses and spectral (IR, 1 H NMR and FAB-MS) data. Acetylation of the sugar hydrazones 7-11 with acetic anhydride in pyridine at room temperature gave the corresponding poly-O-acetyl derivatives 12-16. Attempted dehydrogenative cyclization of the products 7-11 and 12-16 using various conditions did not afford the corresponding acyclo C-nucleosides (R= sugar or R`= acetylated sugar) 18. On the other hand, the reaction of 7-11 or 12-16 with bromine in acetic acid and sodium acetate afforded 8-bromo-7-ethyltheophylline 17. The structural elucidation of products is reported and also some of the products were screened for their antimicrobial activity.
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.
