The synthesis and X-ray structural studies of 2-cholesteryl-2-thio-1,3,2-oxathiaphospholane and 2-cholesteryl-2-thio-1,3,2-dithiaphospholane
摘要:
Two ''thiophospholane'' derivatives of cholesterol: 2-cholesteryl-2-thio-1,3,2-oxathiaphospholane (1) and 2-cholesteryl-2-thio-1,3,2-dithiaphospholane (2) were synthesized as new reagents for introducing a cholesteryl moiety at the 5'-end of oligonucleotides via the phosphorothioate or phosphorodithioate bond. Compounds 1 and 2 were subjected to structural studies by X-ray methods. Both compounds crystallized in the orthorhombic system, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), 1 with a = 6.283(1) Angstrom, b = 12.067(1) Angstrom, c = 38.983(3) Angstrom, 2 with a = 6.371(1) Angstrom, b = 11.971(1) Angstrom and c = 39.502(3) Angstrom. The five-membered heterocyclic rings of both compounds attain a half-chair conformation in the solid state. In structures of 1 and 2 a disorder of some atoms is observed. The absolute configuration at the phosphorus atom in 1 of the components of diastereoisomeric mixture has been established.
