Abstract: | Epoxidation of 3',5'-O-(di-tert-butylsilylene)-1',2'-unsaturated uridine (11) with dimethyldioxirane proceeded from the alpha-face to give the 1',2'-alpha-epoxide 12. Upon reacting with organoaluminum reagents, the 1',2'-alpha-epoxide 12 underwent preferential syn-opening of the epoxide ring to yield the beta-anomers of 1'-methyl- (13beta), 1'-ethyl- (14beta), 1'-isobutyl- (15beta), 1'-ethynyl- (16beta), 1'-vinyl- (17beta), and 1'-phenyl- (18beta) uridine derivatives, although the corresponding alpha-anomers were also formed except for the reaction with triphenylaluminum. It was found, however, that protection of the N(3)-position of 11 either with a benzyloxymethyl or benzoyl group led to the exclusive formation of the desired beta-anomers. A possible explanation for the observed stereochemical outcome is presented. A similar strategy was found to be applicable to the synthesis of 1'-branched adenosine analogues, which include protected angustmycin C (37). |
