Herein, we report the synthesis of novel 2′,2′,3′,3′-tetrafluorinated nucleoside analogs along with their phosphoramidate prodrugs. A tetrafluoro ribose moiety was coupled with different Boc/benzoyl-protected nucleobases under Mitsunobu conditions.

A wide variety of 2′-hydroxypolymethoxyacetophenones and propiophenones, e.g. 1a and 1b are used in the synthesis of flavone and ehromone natural products.¹ Repeated attempts to prepare 1a and 1b by reacting 1,2,3,5-tetramethoxybenzene 2 with acetyl or propionyl chlorides and AlCl₃ in ether² gave products which were difficult to purify.³ We traced the problem to ring-ethoxy contaminants which were isolated and tentatively identified as 3a and 3b.     

Synthesis of 2′,3′-dideoxynucleosides from 5-alkoxymethyluracils

Summary A modified synthesis of protected 2,3-dideoxyribose5 starting fromL-glutamic acid (1) is described. Reaction of5 with silylated 5-hydroxymethyluracil7 a and 5-alkoxymethyluracils7 b–e in the presence of trimethylsilyl triflate afforded an anomeric mixture of 2,3-dideoxyuridine derivatives8 a–e and9 a–e. Deprotection with methanolic ammonia and separation by chromatography gave the corresponding nucleosides10 a–e and11 a–e. Treatment of9 b–e with tri(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)phosphine oxide and subsequent reaction of12 b–e with ammonia in dioxane afforded the cytosine derivatives13 b–e which on treatment with methanolic ammonia gave the corresponding 2,3-dideoxycytidine derivatives14 b–e and15 b–e. In contrast with the parent compounds, these alkoxymethyl derivatives had no appreciable activity against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1).
