- Facile functionalization at the C4 position of pyrimidine nucleosides via amide group activation with (benzotriazol-1-yloxy)tris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP) and biological evaluations of the products
-
Reactions of O-t-butyldimethylsilyl-protected thymidine, 2′-deoxyuridine, and 3′-azidothymidine (AZT) with (benzotriazol-1-yloxy)tris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP) leads to activation of the C4 amide carbonyl by formation of putative O4-(benzotriazol-1-yl) derivatives. Subsequent substitution with alkyl and aryl amines, thiols, and alcohols leads to facile functionalization at this position. Reactions with amines and thiols were conducted either as a two-step, one-pot transformation, or as a one-step conversion. Reactions with alcohols were conducted as two-step, one-pot transformations. In the course of these investigations, the formation of 1-(4-pyrimidinyl)-1H-benzotriazole-3-oxide derivatives from the pyrimidine nucleosides was identified. However, these too underwent conversion to the desired products. Products obtained from AZT were converted to the 3′-amino derivatives by catalytic reduction. All products were assayed for their abilities to inhibit cancer cell proliferation and for antiviral activities. Many were seen to be active against HIV-1 and HIV-2, and one was active against herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1).

- Convenient intermediates for the preparation of C-4 modified derivatives of pyrimidine nucleosides
-
4-(4-Nitrophenoxy)-1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrimidin-2(1H)-one 15, 5- methyl-4-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-1-(β-D-2-deoxyribofuranosyl)pyrimidin-2(1H)- one 7a and 4-(4-nitrophenoxy)-1-(βD-2-deoxyribofuranosyl)pyrimidin-2(1H)- one 17a, respectively, have been prepared and are recommended as reactive intermediates for the preparation of derivatives of uridine, thymidine and 2'-deoxyuridine which are modified at C-4.

- Transformations of thiopyrimidine and thiopurine nucleosides following oxidation with dimethyldioxirane
-
A general and convenient method for the synthesis of several pyrimidine and purine nucleosides by selective oxidation of thionucleosides with dimethyldioxirane is reported. Thioketo moieties in the C-4 position of the pyrimidine ring, and in the C-6, and C-8 positions of the purine ring are the domain of oxidative nucleophilic substitution. Thioketo moieties in the C-2 position of both purine and pyrimidine rings are the domain of desulfurization or formation of disulfides.
