New modular and efficient approach to 6-substituted pyridin-2-yl C-nucleosides

A novel modular, efficient, and practical methodology of preparation of 6-substituted pyridin-2-yl C-nucleosides was developed. An addition of 2-lithio-6-bromopyridine 2b to TBDMS-protected 2-deoxyribonolactone 5 gave aduct 7 as an equilibrium mixture of anomeric hemiketals 1-(6-bromopyridin-2-yl)-1-hydroxynucleosides 7a,b and its open form 7c. Reduction of the adduct 7 with Et3SiH and BF3 x Et2O afforded the desired 6-bromonucleoside 8a as pure beta-anomer in a total yield of 32% over two steps from 5. Intermediate 8a was then subjected to a series of palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reactions and aminations to give a series of protected 1beta-(6-alkyl-, 6-aryl-, and 6-aminopyridin-2-yl)-2-deoxyribonucleosides 9. Catalytic hydrogenation of 8a gave an unsubstituted pyridine C-nucleoside, and diazotative oxodeamination of 6-aminopyridine nucleoside 9f by isopentyl nitrite in acetic acid gave 6-oxopyridine nucleoside 10i. Deprotection of silylated nucleosides 9 by Et3N.3HF gave a series of free C-nucleosides 10.     

General and modular synthesis of isomeric 5-substituted pyridin-2-yl and 6-substituted pyridin-3-yl C-ribonucleosides bearing diverse alkyl, aryl, hetaryl, amino, carbamoyl, and hydroxy groups

A general modular and practical methodology for preparation of diverse 5-substituted pyridin-2-yl and 6-substituted pyridin-3-yl C-ribonucleosides was developed. Regioselective lithiation of 2,5-dibromopyridine proceeded at position 5 or 2 depending on the solvent, and the resulting bromopyridyl lithium species underwent additions to TBS-protected ribonolactone and follow-up transformations to corresponding acetylated hemiketal intermediates 7 and 10 that were diastereoselectively reduced to give either 5-bromopyridin-2-yl or 6-bromopyridin-3-yl silyl-protected C-ribonucleosides 8 or 11 in 68% and 77% overall yields as pure β-anomers. These bromopyridyl C-nucleoside intermediates were then subjected to a series of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, aminations, aminocarbonylations, and hydroxylations to give a series of protected 1β-(5-alkyl-, 5-aryl-, 5-amino-, 5-carbamoyl-, and 5-hydroxypyridin-2-yl)-C-ribonucleosides 13a-i and β-(6-alkyl-, 6-aryl-, 6-amino-, 6-carbamoyl-, and 6-hydroxypyridin-3-yl)-C-ribonucleosides 15a-i. Deprotection of silylated nucleosides by Et(3)N·3HF, TBAF, or TFA gave a series of free C-nucleosides 14a-i and 16a-i.     

Modular synthesis of 5-substituted thiophen-2-yl C-2'-deoxyribonucleosides

A new modular methodology of preparation of 5-substituted thiophene-2-yl C-nucleosides was developed. A Friedel-Crafts-type of C-glycosidation of 2-bromothiophene with toluoyl-protected methylglycoside 2 gave the desired protected 1beta-(5-bromothiophen-2-yl)-1,2-dideoxyribofuranose 4a in 60%. The key intermediate 4a was then subjected to a series of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. The cross-coupling reactions with alkyl organometallics gave beta-(5-alkylthiophen-2-yl)-2-deoxyribonucleosides 4 and 7 in moderate yields accompanied by side-products of reduction. On the other hand, cross-couplings with arylstannanes proceeded smoothly to give a series of beta-(5-arylthiophen-2-yl)-2-deoxyribonucleosides 4 in good yields. Deprotection of toluoylated nucleosides by NaOMe in MeOH and silylated nucleosides by Et 3N.3HF gave a series of free C-nucleosides 6. Alternatively, other types of 5-arylthiophene C-nucleosides 6 were prepared in one step by the aqueous-phase cross-coupling reactions of unprotected 1beta-(5-bromothiophen-2-yl)-1,2-dideoxyribofuranose with boronic acids. Title 5-arylthiophene C-nucleosides 6 exhibit interesting fluorescent properties with emission maxima varying from 339 to 396 nm depending on the aryl group attached.

The 1,4-addition products are obtained with good trans-selectivity (dr 5:1 to 25:1).

4-Arylvinyl-2,6-di(pyridin-2-yl)pyrimidines: synthesis and optical properties

A series of 4-arylvinyl-2,6-di(pyridin-2-yl)pyrimidines have been efficiently prepared by a double cross-coupling reaction between 2,4-dichloro-6-methylpyrimidine and 2-(tributylstannyl)pyridine, followed by aldol condensation with the appropriate aromatic aldehyde substituted with electron-donating, electron-withdrawing, dendritic, or water-soluble groups. The effect of different protic and aprotic solvents on the optical absorption and emission properties of these systems was studied. Compounds with electron-donating groups display strong emission solvatochromism, suggesting the formation of an intramolecular charge-separated emitting state. The solvatochromic behavior depends not only on the solvent polarity but also on the hydrogen bonding parameters of the solvent. The effect of protonation was also studied, and the abilities of some of these molecules to function as colorimetric and luminescent pH sensors were demonstrated with dramatic color changes and luminescence switching upon the introduction of acid.     

Efficient domino strategy for synthesis of 3-substituted 1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one derivatives

A series of 1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-4-one derivatives with 3-(4-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-pyran-3-yl) groups were synthesized via a one-pot three-component reaction of 4-aminopyridin-2(1H)-ones, 2,2-dihydroxy-1-arylethan-1-ones, and 4-hydroxy-2H-pyran-2-ones in water. This strategy not only provides a valuable tool in the design and synthesis of new hydrogenated pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridines but also has the advantages of inexpensive starting materials, atom and step economy, environmental friendliness, good to excellent yields, and operational simplicity. A total of 14 examples were examined to show a broad substrate scope and high yields.
