Abstract: | A method was developed to prepare 5′-deoxy-5′-substituted-ψ-uridine derivatives 4 from 3′,5′-O-(1, 1, 3, 3-tetraisopropyldisiloxanyl)-1,3-dimethyl-ψ-uridine 1 via a silyl rearrangement reaction. Nucleophilic displacement of the mesyloxy function of 2′-O-mesyl-1,3-dimethyl-ψ-uridine 7 afforded products with the 2′-substituent in the “down” ribo configuration 8 . X-Ray crystallographic analysis of the 2′-chloro derivative 8a firmly established the molecular structure of 8 and provided evidence for neighboring group participation of the 4-carbonyl function of 7 during the nucleophilic reactions. Treatment of 1,3-dimethyl-ψ-uridine 11 with α-acetoxyisobutyryl chloride afforded a mixture from which two 2′-chloro-2′-deoxy-C-nucleosides were obtained. The major product (33% yield) was identical with 8 . The minor product (7% yield) was consequently assigned the arabino nucleoside 14 . This is the first direct introduction of a 2′-substituent in the “up” configuration in a preformed pyrimidine nucleoside. |
