Recently, we developed a regio- and stereoselective method for introducing a vinyl group at the position β to a hydroxyl group in halohydrins or α-phenylselenoalkanols via a radical atom-transfer cyclization reaction with a vinylsilyl group as a temporary connecting radical-acceptor tether. The synthesis of 2′-deoxy-2′-C-vinyl- and 2′-deoxy-2′-C-hydroxymethyluridines (7 and 8, respectively) and the corresponding 2′-deoxycytidine congeners (10 and 11, respectively), which were designed as potential antitumor and/or antiviral agents, was achieved using this radical atom-transfer cyclization as the key step. When the 2′-deoxy-2′-iodo-5′-O-monomethoxytrityl (MMTr) uridine derivative 19a, bearing a vinylsilyl group at the 3′-hydroxyl group, was heated with (Me3Sn)2 and AIBN in benzene, the corresponding radical atom-transfer product was generated, which in turn was successively treated with tetrabutylammonium fluoride and TBSCI/imidazole to give the desired 2′-deoxy-5′-O-MMTr-3′-O-TBS-2′-C-vinyluridine (25). Compound 25 was successfully converted into the target 2′-deoxy-2′-branched pyrimidine ribonucleosides 7, 8, 10, and 11.
