Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine ribonucleosides related to 2-aminoadenosine and isoguanosine: synthesis, deamination and tautomerism

The syntheses and properties of 8-aza-7-deazapurine (pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine) ribonucleosides related to 2-aminoadenosine and isoguanosine are described. Glycosylation of 8-aza-7-deazapurine-2,6-diamine 5 with 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-beta-D-ribofuranose (12) in the presence of BF(3) x Et(2)O as a catalyst gave the N(8) isomer 14 (73%) with a trace amount of the N(9) isomer 13a (4.8%). Under the same reaction conditions, the 7-halogenated 8-aza-7-deazapurine-2,6-diamines 6-8 afforded the thermodynamically more stable N(9) nucleosides 13b-d as the only products (53-70%). Thus, a halogen in position 7 shifts the glycosylation from N(8) to N(9). The 8-aza-7-deazapurine-4,6-diamine ribonucleosides 1a-d were converted to the isoguanosine derivatives 3a-d by diazotization of the 2-amino group. Although compounds 1a,b do not contain a nitrogen at position 7 (the enzyme binding site), they were deaminated by adenosine deaminase; however, their deamination occurred with a much slower velocity than that of the related purines. The pK(a) values indicate that the 7-non-functionalized nucleosides 1a (pK(a) 5.8) and 15 (pK(a) 6.4) are possibly protonated in neutral conditions when incorporated into RNA. The nucleosides 3a-d exist predominantly in the keto (lactam) form with K(TAUT) (keto/enol) values of 400-1200 compared to 10(3)-10(4) for pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine isoguanosine derivatives 4a-c and 10 for isoguanosine itself, which will reduce RNA mispairing with U.     

Solid-phase synthesis of tetrasubstituted pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines

A facile solid phase synthesis of 2,4,6,7-tetrasubstituted pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines is described.

Synthesis of thiopyrano[2,3-d] pyrimidines and thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines

The reaction of 4-chloro-5-cyano-2-methylthiopyrimidine (I) with ethyl mercaptosuccinate (II) in refluxing ethanol containing sodium carbonate has afforded diethyl 3-amino-2-(methyl-thio)-7H-thiopyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6,7-dicarboxylate (IV). Displacement of the methylthio group in IV with hydrazine gave the corresponding hydrazino derivative which underwent Schiff base formation with benzaldehyde or 2,6-dichlorobenzaldehyde. Treatment of IV in refluxing acetic anhydride afforded the corresponding diacetylated amino derivative. Partial saponification of IV with sodium hydroxide gave 5-amino-2-(methylthio)-7H-thiopyrano-[2,3-d]pyrimidine 6,7-dicarboxylic acid 6 ethyl ester (VIII). The reaction of 4-amino-6-chloro-5-cyano-2-phenylpyrirnidine (XI) with II resulted in the formation of ethyl 4-amino-6-(ethoxy-carbonyl)-5,6-dihydro-5-amino-2-phenylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-acetate (XIII) which when subjected to hydrolysis gave ethyl 4,5-diamino-2-phenylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-acetate isolated as the hydrochloride (XIV). Diazotization of IV with sodium nitrite in acetic acid unexpectedly afforded diethyl 5-(acetyloxy)-6,7-dihydro-6-hydroxy-2-(methylthio)-5H-thio-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6,7-diearboxylate (XV). Several structural ambiguities were resolved by ir and pmr spectra.     

Pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines. 1. Acylation of 2,4,5-trioxo-7-amino-8H-pyrido [2,3-d]pyrimidines

Reaction of 2,4,5-trioxo-7-aminopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines with acylating agents takes place both at the amino group and at the cyclic nitrogen atom. Reaction of these compounds with formic acid, chloroacetyl chloride in pyridine, cyanoacetic acid in the presence of acetic anhydride, and oxalyl chloride leads to monoacylation at the amino group but with methyl chloroformate it is the product of acylation at the cyclic nitrogen. Refluxing in acetic anhydride gave mono-, di-, and triacetyl derivatives. The structures of these compounds were proved using spectral data.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 811–814, June, 1990.     

Synthesis of 7H-tetrazolo[1,5-c]pyrrolo[3,2-e]pyrimidines and their reductive ring cleavage to 4-aminopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines

Some new 7,9-disubstituted 7H-1,2,3,4-tetrazolo[1,5-c]pyrrolo[3,2-e]pyrimidines 5 have been synthesized either by diazotization of 4-hydrazino-5,7-disubstituted-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines 4 obtained by hydrazinolysis of 4-chloro-5,7-disubstituted-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines 3 or via a substitution reaction between 3 and sodium azide. 5,7-Disubstituted-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones 2 were obtained by cyclocondensation of 2-amino-3-cyano-1,4-disubstituted pyrroles 1 with formic acid which on chlorination using phosphorus oxychloride afforded 3 . A novel route for the synthesis of 4-amino-5,7-disubstituted-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines 6 by the reductive ring cleavage of 5 has been reported.

The treatment of 4-chloro-7-(2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine ( 4 ) with N-bromoacetamide in methylene chloride has furnished the 5-bromo derivative of 4 which on subsequent deacetylation provided a good yield of 5-bromo-4-chloro-7-(β-D-ribo-furanosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidine ( 6 ). Assignment of the halogen substituent to position 5 was made on the basis of pmr studies. Treatment of 6 with methanolic ammonia afforded 4-amino-5-bromo-7-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d ]pyrimidine ( 8 , 5-bromotubercidin) and a subsequent study has revealed that the 4-chloro group of 6 was replaced preferentially in a series of nucleophilic displacement reactions. The analogous synthesis of 4,5-dichloro-7-(β-D-ribo-furanosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine ( 13b ) and 4-chloro-5-iodo-7-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine ( 13a ) from 4 furnished 5-chlorotubercidin ( 15 ) and 5-iodotubercidin ( 14 ), respectively, on treatment of 13b and 13a with methanolic ammonia. The possible biochemical significance of these tubercidin derivatives is discussed.

Synthesis of 4,6-disubstituted-7-β-D-ribofuranosyl- and arabinofuranosylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines and certain related ribonucleosides

Several disubstituted pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine and thiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine ribonucleosides have been prepared as congeners of uridine and cytidine. Glycosylation of the trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivative of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H,7H)-dione ( 4 ) with 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribofuranose ( 5 ) in the presence of TMS triflate afforded 7-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazolo-[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione ( 6 ). Debenzoylation of 6 gave the uridine analog 7-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione ( 3 ), identical with 7-ribofuranosyloxoallopurinol reported earlier. Thiation of 6 gave 7 , which on debenzoylation afforded 7-β-D-ribofuranosyl-6-oxopyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4(1H,5H)-thione ( 8 ). Ammonolysis of 7 at elevated temperature gave a low yield of the cytidine analog 4-amino-7-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-6(1H)-one ( 11 ). Chlorination of 6 , followed by ammonolysis, furnished an alternate route to 11 . A similar glycosylation of TMS-4 with 2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-α-D-arabinofuranosyl chloride ( 12 ) gave mainly the N7-glycosylated product 13 , which on debenzylation provided 7-β-D-arabinofuranosylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione ( 14 ). 4-Amino-7-β-D-arabinofuranosyl-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-6(1H)-one ( 19 ) was prepared from 13 via the C4-pyridinium chloride intermediate 17 . Condensation of the TMS derivatives of 7-hydroxy- ( 20 ) or 7-aminopyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5(4H)-one ( 23 ) with 5 in the presence of TMS triflate gave the corresponding blocked nucleosides 21 and 24 , respectively, which on deprotection afforded 7-hydroxy- 22 and 7-amino-4-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5-one ( 25 ), respectively. Similarly, starting either from 2-chloro ( 26 ) or 2-aminothiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-5,7-(4H,6H)-dione ( 29 ), 2-amino-4-β-D-ribofuranosylthiazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-5,7(6H)-dione ( 28 ) has been prepared. The structure of 25 was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.     

Facile synthesis of 1-substituted 2-amino-3-cyanopyrroles: new synthetic precursors for 5,6-unsubstituted pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines

1-Benzyl-3-cyanopyrrole-2-carbonyl azide (5) underwent a Curtius rearrangement followed by quenching with alcohols to form the corresponding carbamates (6a-c). The carbamates 6a,b were unblocked to give the desired 2-amino-1-benzyl-3-cyanopyrrole (1a). A more facile procedure was subsequently developed for the synthesis of 1-substituted 2-amino-3-cyanopyrroles. N-Substituted aminoacetaldehyde dimethyl acetals (7a-c) were condensed with malononitrile in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate to afford the corresponding 1-substituted 2-amino-3-cyanopyrroles (1a-c).
