Influence of the N3‐Protection Group on N1‐ vs. O2‐Alkylation in the Mitsunobu Reaction

Abstract: The influence of the N3‐protection group of thymine on the regioselectivity of the N1‐ vs. O2‐alkylation under Mitsunobu conditions is described. A series of N3‐protected thymine derivatives 8a–f was prepared and coupled to cyclopentanol as model compound for carbocyclic nucleoside precursors. Finally, the N3‐BOM group was selected to improve our previously reported synthetic strategy to carbocyclic thymidine (carba‐dT). Moreover, the 2,6‐dimethyl‐Bz group led exclusively to the O2‐analogue of carba‐dT. (© Wil… Show more

“…Therefore, the N3-position of thymine was protected with a benzoyl-(Bz-, 19) or a benzyloxymethyl- 20) as to avoid formation of the N3-regioisomer. 17 Despite using the conditions for the Mitsunobu reaction as recommended by Rejman and coworkers,16 no product was obtained. Further attempts to optimize the reaction conditions proved fruitless.…”

“…We prepared the N-deprotected building block in five steps and 26 % overall yield. The Mitsunobu reaction [23] of 14 -easily assembled through the reduction of a diprotected iminodiacetic acid -with the known N 3 -benzoylthymine [24] gave thyminated adduct 15. This we deprotected at the two nitrogen atoms in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid to yield α-amino ester 16.…”

“…N3-Benzoylated thymine 3 26,27 was coupled to 4-iodobenzenboronic acid to afford the known N1-(4-iodophenyl)thymine derivative 4 28 and further converted to the corresponding boronic ester 5 28 using methodology developed by Gothelf and co-workers. 28,29 By using similar procedures, also the m-substituted isomers 6 and 7 were obtained in good yields.…”
