Selenoxide elimination for the synthesis of unsaturated-sugar uracil nucleosides
摘要:
Introduction of a phenylseleno group to the sugar portion of uracil nucleosides and selenoxide elimination reactions of the resulting selenium-containing derivatives are described. A phenylselenide anion prepared by reducing (PhSe)2 with LialH4 was found to be highly reactive. By using this selenide as a nucleophile, ring openings of various types of cyclonucleosides and nucleosides having an anhydro structure in the sugar portion were accomplished. The products, which contain a phenylseleno group in the sugar portion, were oxidized with m-CPBA in CH2Cl2, and their susceptibility to the selenoxide elimination and regiochemistry of the reaction was investigated.
Action of nucleophiles on 2,3′-anhydrothymidine: side-reactions involving the possible intermediacy of 2,5′-anhydro-1-(2-deoxy---Threo-pentofuranosyl) thymine
摘要:
2,3'-Anhydrothymidine (1) reacts with the sodium salt of propane-2-thiol and with sodium phenyl selenide to give 5'-substituted products [(3b) and (3c), respectively] in addition to the expected 3'-substituted 2',3'-dideoxynucleoside derivatives [(2b) and (2c)].
Various types of oxetanes and oxolanes can be cleaved by reaction with phenylselenide anion prepared from diphenyl diselenide and lithium aluminum hydride in dioxane.
Phenylselenide anion generated from (PhSe)2 and LiAlH4, was found to be highly reactive to various types of cyclic ethers, providing a new method to prepare γ- and δ-phenylselenenyl alcohols from oxetane and oxolane, respectively.
