—— | 6-hydroxy-1-(4'-methyl-2',6',7'-trioxabicyclo[2.2.2]octyl)hex-1-yn-3-one | 350986-56-0 | C12H16O5 | 240.256 |
While direct Sonogashira coupling of 6-halopurines with methyl propiolate and with propargyl aldehyde was not successful, the corresponding orthoester and propargyl aldehyde diethylacetal reacted smoothly. Such prepared orthoester was then converted to the desired methylester by methanolysis, the acetal was too stable to be hydrolyzed. The obtained 6-ethynylpurines, bearing orthoester, acetal, methoxycarbonyl and for comparison also the phenyl substituent on the ethynyl group, were subjected to the cycloaddition reaction with cyclopentadiene, diazomethane and phenylazide. Electron deficient alkynylpurines were considerably more reactive in this reaction compared to the not activated phenylethynyl derivative. The prepared alkynylpurines exhibited medium cytostatic activity (IC50 = 2.6–15 μM), while the cycloadducts were inactive.
A new method has been established for the preparation of C 2-oxidized 5,5-spiroacetals, which are key intermediates for the synthesis of the bis-spiroacetal moiety of the spirolides. A bridged orthoester was used as a masked carboxylic acid in the preparation of these bicyclic oxaspirolactones. The synthesis of chiral lactone (12), a building block for the synthesis of the spirolides, is also reported. The two chiral centres in lactone (12) were assembled by addition of a chiral crotyl borane to an aldehyde. The structure of lactone (12) was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction; orthorhombic space group P212121 (No. 19), a 12.437(2), b 23.881(4), c 7.545(1) Å, V 2240.9(5) Å3, R(F) 0.0460, and Rw(F) 0.0458.
