The Synthesis of Tenofovir and Its Analogues via Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation
摘要:
A series of tenofovir analogues with potential antiviral and immunobiologically active compounds were synthesized through an asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reaction from achiral purine derivatives. Up to 97% ee and good to excellent yields were achieved under mild conditions through short reaction steps. The present report suggests an efficient process to acquire tenofovir and its analogues.
Regioselective N9 alkylation of purine rings assisted by β-cyclodextrin
摘要:
Under the assistance of beta-cyclodextrin, purine was effectively alkylated at N9 together with up to 99% conversion and good to excellent yield using water as the solvent. High regioselectivity-N9/N7 selectivity>99:1 was attributed to the beta-cyclodextrin cavity blocked the N7 of purines ring. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
