Studies on the Synthesis ofN′-Acetyl AZA-Analogues ofGanciclovir—Unexpected Liability ofN′-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-Azanucleosides Under Basic Conditions
摘要:
The O'-pivaloyl diesters of N'-acetyl-azanucleosides were obtained from N-[1,3-di(pivaloyloxy)prop-2-yl]-N-(pivaloyloxymethyl)acetamide and a silylated nucleobase under Vorbruggen's conditions. Unexpectedly, de-pivaloylation of the diesters under basic conditions afforded the corresponding nucleobase and N-acetylserinol. Mechanistic investigations showed that these products result from the following cascade of spontaneous transformations initiated by the mono de-pivaloylation of the starting diesters. N'-Deacetylation of the resultant mono-esters via the intramolecular N-O acetyl migration is the key step of the cascade; the corresponding NH-azanucleosides in the form of O-acetyl-O'-pivaloyl diesters are formed. Fragmentation of these diester intermediates gives the nucleobase and O-acetyl-O'-pivaloylserinol. Conversion of the latter to N-acetylserinol involves the selective O-N acetyl migration followed by de-pivaloylation of the resulting N-acetyl-O-pivaloylserinol.
