- Nucleoside Analogues: Synthesis from Strained Rings
-
Nucleoside analogues are widely employed as bioactive compounds against cancer and viral infections. Consequently, it is important to develop efficient synthetic methods to access them with high efficiency and structural diversity. Herein, we present a full account of our work on the synthesis of nucleoside analogues via annulations of donor acceptor aminocyclopropanes and aminocyclobutanes. Thymine- and uracil-derived diester cyclopropanes were accessed from the corresponding nucleobases via vinylation and rhodium-catalyzed cyclopropanation, and were then used in (3+2) annulations with aldehydes, ketones and enol ethers. The obtained analogues could be transformed into important hydroxymethyl derivatives. Thymine and fluoro-uracil-derived diester cyclobutanes obtained from the nucleobases via vinylation and (2+2) cycloaddition could also be used in a (4+2) annulation with aldehydes. Finally, purine-derived diester cyclopropanes could be accessed using the condensation of nucleobases with chloromethyl ethylidene malonates, but annulation reactions with this class of substrates were not successful.

- Synthesis of (Carbo)nucleoside analogues by [3+2] annulation of aminocyclopropanes
-
(Carbo)nucleoside derivatives constitute an important class of pharmaceuticals, yet there are only few convergent methods to access new analogues. Here, we report the first synthesis of thymine-, uracil-, and 5-fluorouracil-substituted diester donor-acceptor cyclopropanes and their use in the indium- and tin-catalyzed [3+2] annulations with aldehydes, ketones, and enol ethers. The obtained diester products could be easily decarboxylated and reduced to the corresponding alcohols. The method gives access to a broad range of new (carbo)nucleoside analogues in only four or five steps and will be highly useful for the synthesis of libraries of bioactive compounds.

- A convenient method for the synthesis of N-vinyl derivatives of nucleobases
-
Trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) reveals, one more time, its enormous flexibility as Lewis acid catalyst, transforming the well known, but drastic, exchange of the acetyl group of vinyl acetate with pyrimidine and purine derivatives in a very gentle and quick method to obtain a whole set of vinyl nucleobases.
