Synthesis of (5R)- and (5S)-5-Methyl-5, 6-dihydrouridine Derivatives

The hydrogenation of 2′, 3′-O-isopropylidene-5-methyluridine (1) in water over 5% Rh/Al₂O₃ gave (5 R)- and (5 S)-5-methyl-5, 6-dihydrouridine (2) , separated as 5′-O-(p-tolylsulfonyl)- (3) and 5′-O-benzoyl- (5) derivatives by preparative TLC. on silica gel and ether/hexane developments. The diastereoisomeric differentiation at the C(5) chiral centre depends upon the reaction media and the nature of the protecting group attached to the ribosyl moiety. The synthesis of iodo derivatives (5 R)- and (5 S)- 4 is also described. The diastereoisomers 4 were converted into (5 R)- and (5 S)-2′, 3′,-O-isopropylidene-5-methyl-2, 5′-anhydro-5, 6-dihydrouridine (7) .     

Synthesis of (24R)-3β-chloro-7α-bromo-5-hydroxy-5α-stigmastan-6-one and study of its dehydrohalogenation products

C-24 stereochemistry of marine sterols: (22E)-24-(isopropenyl)-22-dehydrocholesterol and 24-isopropenylcholesterol

The C-24 configuration of (22E,24xi)-24-isopropenyl-22-dehydrocholesterol (1), which was recently isolated from the Colombian Caribbean sponge, Topsentia ophiraphidites, was investigated. Synthesis of the stereodefined (24R)- and (24S)-(22E)-24-isopropenyl-22-dehydrocholesterols (1a, 1b) followed by (1)H- and (13)C-NMR data comparison of these sterols established the (24R)-configuration of 1. In addition, (24R)- and (24S)-24-isopropenylcholesterols (2a and 2b) were also synthesized and their NMR data are provided. The C-24 configurations of the samples of 24-isopropenylcholesterol reported previously are discussed.     

Total synthesis of (4R,5S,6E,14S)- and (4R,5S,6E,14R)-cystothiazoles F

Total synthesis of (4R,5S,6E,14S)- and (4R,5S,6E,14R)-cystothiazoles F 3 was achieved from the chiral bithiazole-type primary alcohols [(S)- and (R)-4-ethoxycarbonyl-2′-(1-hydroxymethylethyl)-2,4′-bithiazoles 8], which were obtained based on the enzymatic resolution of racemic alcohol 8 and its acetate 9. From a direct comparison by means of chiral HPLC between natural cystothiazole F 3 and synthetic compounds [(4R,5S,6E,14S)- and (4R,5S,6E,14R)-cystothiazoles 3], natural cystothiazole F 3 was found to be a 33:67 diastereomeric mixture [(4R,5S,6E,14S)-3:(4R,5S,6E,14R)-3 = 33:67].
