Synthesis of 2-fluoro and 4-fluoro galactopyranosyl phosphonate analogues of UDP-Gal
摘要:
Two novel nonisosteric UDP-Gal analogues, (2-deoxy-2-fluoro- and 4-deoxy-4-fluoro-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl) phosphonoyl phosphates, were synthesized by optimized multistep procedures starting from 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-D-galactal and allyl 2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside, respectively. The key steps were a Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction of respective deoxy-fluoro-D-galactopyranosyl acetate with triethyl phosphite followed by a Moffatt-Khorana coupling reaction with UMP-morpholidate. The structure of all new compounds was confirmed by NMR and mass spectroscopies. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
