Enzymatic separation of epimeric 4-C-hydroxymethylated furanosugars: Synthesis of bicyclic nucleosides
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conversion of D-glucose to 4-C-hydroxymethyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-ribofuranose, which is a key precursor for the synthesis of different types of bicyclic/spiro nucleosides, led to the formation of an inseparable 1:1 mixture of the desired product and 4-C-hydroxymethyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-xylofuranose. A convenient environment friendly Novozyme®-435 catalyzed selective acetylation methodology has been developed for the separation of an epimeric mixture of ribo- and xylotrihydroxyfuranosides in quantitative yields. The structure of both the monoacetylated epimers, i.e., 5-O-acetyl-4-C-hydroxymethyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-ribo- and xylofuranose obtained by enzymatic acetylation, has been confirmed by an X-ray study on their corresponding 4-C-p-toluenesulfonyloxymethyl derivatives. Furthermore, the two separated epimers were used for the convergent synthesis of two different types of bicyclic nucleosides, which confirms their synthetic utility.

Synthesis and structural characterization of pyrimidine bi- and tricyclic nucleosides with sugar puckers conformationally locked into the eastern region of the pseudorotational cycle.
Reaction of 5'-O-tosyl TSAO-m(3)T (1) with amines has led to the synthesis of new classes of bi- and tricyclic nucleosides. Full details about the synthesis of these compounds and a plausible mechanism to explain their obtention are reported. In addition, we describe the development of a second, more efficient, and higher yielding synthetic route as a general approach for the synthesis of some ...

In this article, we focus on the synthesis of aryl C-glycosides via Heck coupling. It is organized based on the type of structures used in the assembly of the C-glycosides (also called C-nucleosides) with the following subsections: pyrimidine C-nucleosides, purine C-nucleosides, and monocyclic, bicyclic, and tetracyclic C-nucleosides. The reagents and conditions used for conducting the Heck cou...
متن کاملNovel and facile synthesis of furanodictines A and B based on transformation of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose into 3,6-anhydro hexofuranoses.
A novel synthesis of furanodictines A [2-acetamido-3,6-anhydro-2-deoxy-5-O-isovaleryl-D-glucofuranose (1)] and B [2-acetamido-3,6-anhydro-2-deoxy-5-O-isovaleryl-D-mannofuranose (2)] is described starting from 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (GlcNAc). The synthetic protocol is based on deriving the epimeric bicyclic 3,6-anhydro sugars [2-acetamido-3,6-anhydro-2-deoxy-D-glucofuranose (4) and 2-acet...
متن کاملSynthesis and anti-varicella-zoster virus activity of some novel bicyclic nucleoside inhibitors: effect of enhanced aqueous solubility.
We have recently reported the discovery of an entirely new category of potent antivaricella-zoster virus agents based on novel deoxynucleoside analogues bearing unusual fluorescent bicyclic furo base moieties. Initial studies revealed an absolute requirement of a long alkyl side-chain, with an optimal length of C8-C10, for antiviral activity. However, the impact of this requirement on the physi...
