Synthesis and X-ray structures of new cycloalka[e]pyrano[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives: novel tacrine analogues

A new series of tacrine (9-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine) analogues consisting of a cycloalka[e]pyrano[2,3-b]pyridine linked to a quinolyl ring has been synthesized. These compounds were prepared from the appropriately substituted pyran derivative via a Friedländer reaction with selected cycloalkanones in high yields. Single crystal X-ray structures are reported for four compounds.     

The synthesis of P-stereogenic MOP analogues and their use in rhodium catalysed asymmetric addition

The synthesis is reported of novel P-stereogenic binaphthyl substituted monophosphines via a short five-step synthesis using a nickel coupling reaction with separation of the borane-protected diastereomeric products. Extensive coordination studies of these ligands with a number of well-known metal precursors were performed to more effectively understand their behaviour during catalysis.These ligands and some previously reported P-stereogenic ligands were tested in the rhodium catalysed asymmetric addition of phenyl boronic acid to napthaldehyde. These studies in asymmetric catalysis were used to compare the chiral induction of ligands that combine both axial and central chirality with ligands lacking P-stereogenicity.

Regioselective synthesis of 5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3-triazole nucleoside analogues via TBS-directed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction

Herein described was a straightforward method for the highly regioselective synthesis of 5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3-triazole nucleoside analogues, which featured the utilization of tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) group as the directing group in the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. 4-tert-Butyldimethylsilyl-5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3-triazole nucleoside analogues were generated as the only cycloaddition products in moderate yields (15-79%) via the treatment of glycosyl azides with 3,3,3-trifluoro-1-tert-butyldimethylsilylpropyne 1 in toluene at 85 °C. Removal of TBS groups in these triazole cycloadducts with tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) smoothly afforded the various 5-trifluoromethyl-1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole nucleoside analogues in good yields (40-88%).     

Reaction of O6-methylguanosine with nitrite in the presence of carboxylic acid: synthesis of the purin-2-yl carboxylate

O6-Methylguanosine derivative was treated with sodium nitrite or isoamylnitrite in the presence of carboxylic acid to give the purin-2-yl carboxylate, an unusual product bearing a carboxylic group at the 2-position of the purine moiety.     

Selective recognition of CG interruption by 2′,4′-BNA having 1-isoquinolone as a nucleobase in a pyrimidine motif triplex formation

To develop a novel nucleoside analogue for the effective recognition of CG interruption in a homopurine-homopyrimidine tract of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), we succeeded in the synthesis of a triplex-forming oligonucleotide (TFO) containing a novel 2′,4′-BNA (Q^B) bearing 1-isoquinolone as a nucleobase, and the triplex-forming ability and sequence-selectivity of the TFO (TFO-Q^B) were examined. On melting temperature (T_m) measurements, it was found that the TFO-Q^B formed a stable triplex DNA in a highly sequence-selective manner under near physiological conditions.
