- Synthesis of Nucleosides through Direct Glycosylation of Nucleobases with 5-O-Monoprotected or 5-Modified Ribose: Improved Protocol, Scope, and Mechanism
-
Simplifying access to synthetic nucleosides is of interest due to their widespread use as biochemical or anticancer and antiviral agents. Herein, a direct stereoselective method to access an expansive range of both natural and synthetic nucleosides up to a gram scale, through direct glycosylation of nucleobases with 5-O-tritylribose and other C5-modified ribose derivatives, is discussed in detail. The reaction proceeds through nucleophilic epoxide ring opening of an in situ formed 1,2-anhydrosugar (termed “anhydrose”) under modified Mitsunobu reaction conditions. The scope of the reaction in the synthesis of diverse nucleosides and other 1-substituted riboside derivatives is described. In addition, a mechanistic insight into the formation of this key glycosyl donor intermediate is provided.

- An efficient and selective method for the preparation of triphenylmethyl ethers of alcohols and nucleosides
-
A very simple and efficient method is described for the protection of alcohols and nucleosides with benzyl monomethoxytrityl and benzyl dimethoxytrityl ethers in the presence of diethylazodicarboxylate and a catalytic amount of ceric triflate. High selectivity was observed for the tritylation of 5'-OH function of nucleosides.
