| Abstract: | ABSTRACT 3-Methyl-1-phenyl-2-phospholene and 1-phenyl-2-phospholene 1-oxides were converted into 2-bromo-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenylphospholane and 2-bromo-3-hydroxy-1-phenylphospholane 1-oxide (1-bromo-1,3,4-trideoxy-1,4-C-(R, S)-phenylphosphinylidene]-glycero-tetrofuranose) by the action of bromine in aqueous medium. The bromo substituent of the phospholane was substituted by treatment with amines or an azide anion to afford novel glycoside derivatives of phosphanyl sugar analogs such as 2-amino-3-hydroxy-1-phenylphospholane (3,4-dideoxy-1,4-C-(R, S)-phenylphosphinylidene]-glycero-tetrofuranosylamine) and 2-azido-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenylphospholane 1-oxides with retention of the configuration. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the 2-azido derivative of the phospholane with alkynes gave 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-(triazol-1′-y1)phospholane 1-oxides as a novel triazole-derived nucleoside of phosphanyl sugar analogs. The structure of the glycoside and nucleoside derivatives of the phosphanyl sugar analogs prepared was deterimined from IR, NMR, and X-ray crystallography analysis. |
