Synthesis and Anti-Hepatitis B Virus Activity of Glucosylated 2-O-Ethyluracils

Summary.  2-O-Ethyluracils were silylated with HMDS and condensed in the presence of TMS-triflate with β-D-glucose pentaacetate to give the corresponding β-nucleosides. Alternatively, these could be synthesized by nucleoside coupling of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide with the sodium salts of 2-O-ethyluracils, which were deprotected with saturated ammonia in methanol. 6′-O-Tosylate nucleoside derivatives were prepared by treating of the latter with tosyl chloride in anhydrous pyridine. The compounds thus obtained were treated with sodium azide in anhydrous DMF to afford the corresponding 6′-azido nucleoside derivatives, which can also be prepared by treatment with sodium azide in the presence of carbon tetrabromide and triphenylphosphine in anhydrous DMF. Nucleophilic displacement of the 6′-tosyloxy group by morpholine gave 6′-deoxy-6′-morpholino nucleosides. The reduction of the azido group of the 6′-azido nucleosides using triphenylphosphine in pyridine afforded the 6′-amino analogues. Glucosylated 2-O-ethyluracils showed moderate activity against HBV.

Synthesis of N2-arylaminopyrimidine-5-carbonitrile derivatives via SNAr amination reaction

An efficient and high-yielding synthesis of N~2-arylaminopyrimidine-5-carbonitrile derivatives starting from arylamines and 2-methylthio-pyrimidine-5-carbonitriIe derivatives has been developed in the presence of cesium carbonate as basic reagent.This new protocol showed high chemical tolerance for a range of functional groups,and only the methylthio substituent on C2 of the pyrimidine ring was replaced with arylamine derivatives under the reaction conditions.     

Synthesis and NMR spectral assignments of novel 1,4-benzothiazepine-5-one derivatives

The one-pot reaction between 2-aminobenzo[d]isothiazol-3-one and alkyl propiolates in presence of triphenylphosphine leads to the corresponding alkyl 4-amino-5-oxobenzo[f][1,4]thiazepine-3-carboxylates. A plausible mechanism of the reaction is proposed and unambiguous evidence for the structures is obtained from a detailed magnetic resonance spectral analysis. 1D and 2D NMR spectra such as COSY, ¹H-¹³C and ¹H-¹⁵N HSQC and HMBC heteronuclear correlations and an INADEQUATE experiment are reported and discussed.     

SNH Amidation of 5-Nitroisoquinoline: Access to Nitro- and Nitroso Derivatives of Amides and Ureas on the Basis of Isoquinoline

For the first time, amides and ureas based on both 5-nitroisoquinoline and 5-nitrosoisoquinoline were obtained by direct nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in the 5-nitroisoquinoline molecule. In the case of urea and monosubstituted ureas, only 5-nitrosoisoquinoline-6-amine is formed under anhydrous conditions.

Catalytic silylotropy inN-trimethylsilylpyrazole derivatives

Silylotropy in 4-substitutedN-trimethylsilypyrazoles is studied by dynamic¹H,¹³C, and²⁹Si NMR spectroscopy. The catalytic 1,2-migration of a trimethylsilyl group in 4-halo-N-trimethylsilylpyrazoles was detected. Silylotropy inN-trimethylsilylpyrazoles in the presence of halogens of trimethylhalosilanes is believed to proceed through formation ofN,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)pyrazolium salts, the barrier of silylotropy in pyrazoles being markedly reduced.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and metal-ion binding properties of new N2S4- and N2S5-donor macrocycles

Synthetic procedures for new N₂S₄- and N₂S₅-donor macrocycles (2 and 4) were given. The ligands were prepared by the reaction of NaBH₄ with the appropriate macrocyclic diamide in the presence of boron trifluoride ethyl etherate in dry tetrahydrofuran (THF). Solvent extraction method was used to evaluate metal-ion binding properties of the new ligands. The solvent extraction experiments suggested that the reduced macrocycles have Ag⁺ and Hg²⁺ selectivities compared to Pb²⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Mn²⁺ and Cd²⁺ ions. The extraction constants (log K _ex) and complex compositions were determined for Ag⁺ and Hg²⁺ complex of compound (4).

5-Alkynyl-2′-deoxyuridines, containing bulky aryl groups: evaluation of structure-anti-HSV-1 activity relationship

Four 5-alkynyl-2′-deoxyuridines containing different bulky substituents and flexible linkers between the triple bond and the aromatic residue have been prepared and tested against HSV-1 in Vero cells. Two nucleosides containing carbonyl groups, 5-(4-benzoylphenoxypropyn-1-yl)-2′-deoxyuridine (19a) and 5-(estron-3-yloxypropyn-1-yl)-2′-deoxyuridine (19c), showed low cytotoxicity and moderate antiviral activity. The flexible linker appears not to be favorable for antiviral properties of 5-alkynyl-2′deoxyuridines: 5-[(perylen-3-yl)methoxypropyn-1-yl]-2′-deoxyuridine (19d) showed considerable cytotoxicity and no antiviral activity in contrast to the active and nontoxic 5-(perylen-3-ylethynyl)-2′-deoxyuridine (9), a nucleoside with a rigid triple-bond-connection of the aromatic system to the nucleobase.

Synthesis and Stereoisomerization of 2-(1-Alkoxyimino-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-5-trimethylsilylfurans

2-(1-Alkoxyimino-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-5-trimethylsilylfurans were synthesized by the condensation of 2-(trifluoroacetyl)-5-trimethylsilylfuran with alkoxyamines. According to ¹H and ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopic data, the alkoxyimino group in the E-isomers descreens the H-3 and H-4 protons of the furan ring more strongly than in the Z-isomers, shifting their signals downfield. The fluorine atoms of the α-trifluoromethyl group in the Z-isomer are characterized by a downfield shift in relation to the E-isomer. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 834–838, June, 2005.

Improved Synthesis of Phosphoramidite-Protected N6-Methyladenosine via BOP-Mediated SNAr Reaction

N⁶-methyladenosine(m⁶A) is the most abundant modification in mRNA. Studies on proteins that introduce and bind m⁶A require the efficient synthesis of oligonucleotides containing m⁶A. We report an improved five-step synthesis of the m⁶A phosphoramidite starting from inosine, utilising a 1-H-benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphoniumhexafluorophosphate (BOP)_-mediated S_NAr reaction in the key step. The route manifests a substantial increase in overall yield compared to reported routes, and is useful for the synthesis of phosphoramidites of other adenosine derivatives, such as ethanoadenosine, an RNA analogue of the DNA adduct formed by the important anticancer drug Carmustine.
