Several pterin derivatives (1-8) have been ribosylated in form of their trimethylsilyl derivatives (9) with 1-bromo-(10) and 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribofuranose (11) under the catalysis of HgO/HgBr 2 , BF 3 -etherate and trimethylsilyl triflate, respectively. Mixtures of the N-1-(19-25) and N-3-ribofuranosides (12-18) which are difficult to be separated were obtained. Debenzoylation by the Zemplen method led to the free pterin-nucleosides (28-30). A second approach starting from 2-methylthio-4(3H)pteridinones (31-33) gave again mixtures of the N-1-(35-37) and N-3-ribonucleosides (38-40). The 2-methylthio function in 35-37 can easily be substituted by various amines leading after subsequently debenzoylation to the N-2-substituted pterin-ribonucleosides (41-50). The structural assignments were based on comparisons of the UV spectra with the corresponding N-methyl substituted model substances. 1 H-NMR-spectra functioned as additional structural proof.
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.
