Trimethylsilyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate-promoted Reductive 2′-O-arylmethylation of Ribonucleoside Derivatives
摘要:
Arylmethyl groups such as benzyl, p-methoxybenzyl, and 1-pyrenylmethyl groups were introduced to the 2'-O-position of nucleosides by reductive etherification. Combining corresponding aromatic aldehydes with 2'-O-trimethylsilylnucleoside derivatives in the presence of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) resulted in moderate to good yields of the 2'-O-arylmethyluridine derivatives, whereas the corresponding cytidine and adenosine derivatives were obtained in low yields. The reaction of ribonucleosides with aliphatic aldehydes did not proceed smoothly. Anomerization of the uridine derivatives by TMSOTf was observed in CH(2)Cl(2), toluene, and CH(3)CN, but was completely suppressed when the reactions were conducted in 1,4-dioxane.

alkylated with various alkyliodides in CH3CN in the presence of base. Normal 2'-O-alkylated products were obtained with methyl or benzyliodide. If hindered alkyliodides with beta-branching such as 2-ethylbutyl iodide were used as electrophiles under the same conditions, N3-alkyl-2'-O-benzoyl uridine derivatives were produced. This unexpected transformation is usually dormant with reactive alkylating agents
