A facile and efficient methodology for direct synthesis of 5-aryl-2â²-deoxyuridines was developed through ligand-free SuzukiâMiyaura cross-coupling reactions starting from totally deprotected 5-iodo-2â²-deoxyuridine and various boronic acids. Reactions were performed, in pure water, in the presence of very low loading of palladium either by classical thermal heating or with the assistance of microwave irradiation yielding 5-arylated uridine derivatives in moderate to good yields within short reaction times.
Following our previous results on an environmentally benign one-pot Sonogashira-cyclization protocol to obtain substituted furopyrimidine nucleosides under aqueous conditions, we investigate herein the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl and heteroaryl derivatives at the C5 position of unprotected 2'-deoxyuridine in the same media with a common catalyst system avoiding exotic ligands, since palladium acetate and triphenylphosphine afforded the expected products in moderate to good yields.
A series of 5-aryl-2'-deoxyuridines was prepared, using ligandless Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions in neat water, starting from 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine as totally deprotected starting material. This ligand-free process gave good to high isolated yields within short reaction times and with low loadings of palladium.
Highly Effective Synthesis of C-5-Substituted 2′-Deoxyuridine Using Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling in Water
C-5-substituted 2′-deoxyuridine derivatives using a palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyauracross-coupling reaction in water has been established. Starting from 2′-deoxyuridine derivatives, the target nucleoside analogues were obtained in good yields with low levels of palladium loading without protection of any hydroxyl group of the glycone moiety. cross-coupling - Suzuki-Miyaura - nucleosides - green chemistry
