Cyclization versus oligomerization of SP- and RP-5′-OH-N4-benzoyl-2′-deoxycytidine-3′-O-(2-thio-4,4-pentamethylene-1,3,2-oxathiaphospholane)s
摘要:
The S-p-isomer of 5 '-OH-N-4-benzoyl-2 '-deoxycytidine-3 '-O-(2-thio-4,4-pentamethylene-1,3,2-oxathiaphospholane) undergoes DBU-promoted intramolecular cyclization providing as a sole product Sp-deoxycytidine cyclic 3 ',5 '-O,O-phosphorothioate. Unexpectedly, the Rp-counterpart yields a mixture of products consisting of Rp-deoxycytidine cyclic 3 ',5 '-O,O-phosphorothioate and macrocyclic oligo(deoxycytidine phosphorothioate)s. The results of molecular modeling indicate that the dychotomy observed for the R-p substrate may result from remarkably higher energy of the corresponding transition states, caused by the presence of bulky 'spiro' pentamethylene substituent at the position C4 in the oxathiaphospholane ring.
