A series of novel α-L-threose nucleoside phosphonate analogs, 4(R)-methyl-3-O-phosphonomethyl-α-L-threose nucleosides, were synthesized in multistep sequences starting from D-xylose. The synthetic sequence consisted of the following key stages: (i) the multistep synthesis of 1,2-O-isopropylidenyl-4(R)-methyl-3-O-phosphonomethyl-L-threose, (ii) the transformation of 1,2-O-isopropylidenyl sugar into suitable 1,2-di-O-acyl L-threose precursor, and (iii) the construction of target α-L-threose nucleoside phosphonate analogs by Vorbrüggen glycosidation reaction, deprotection of acyl group, and hydrolysis of diethyl group on phosphonate. The target nucleoside phosphonates were evaluated for their antitumour activities in cell culture-based assays. Compound 8g, 2-fluroadenosine phosphonate, showed remarkable activity against human breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) with IC50 values of 0.476 and 0.391 μM, corresponding to 41- and 47-fold higher potency than the reference compound 5-FU, respectively. Subsequent investigations found that the compound 8g can inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells and cell cloning. The mechanistic studies indicated that compound 8g could cause DNA damage to breast cancer cells through the ATM-Chk1/Chk2-cdc25c pathway, leading to blockage of the G2/M phase cycle of breast cancer cells, which ultimately led to apoptosis. Moreover, 8g could inhibit the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and induce apoptosis. These results indicate that compound 8g holds promising potential as an antitumour agent.

L-2'-deoxythreose nucleoside phosphonates PMDTA and PMDTT possess potent anti-HIV activity. Herein, a novel class of 3'-C-branched-l-threose nucleoside phosphonate analogs, 5'-deoxy-3'-C-hydroxymethyl-3'-O-phosphonomethyl-d-xylose nucleosides, were synthesized and biologically evaluated. The key sugar intermediate 3-C-benzyloxymethyl-3-O-diethylphosphonomethyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-d-5-deoxyxylose (8) was firstly synthesized, which may be an interesting scaffold for access to diverse 3'-C-branched l-threosyl nucleoside phosphonate derivatives. And the key synthesis involved Wittig olefination of 1,2-O-isopropylidene-3-oxo-α-d-5-deoxyxylose, stereoselective dihydroxylation of alkenes by aqueous KMnO4, selective benzylation of hydroxymethyl group under activation of dibutyltin oxide, and introduction of phosphonate group by nucleophilic substitution. Eventually, glycosylation under Vorbrüggen conditions provided 3'-C-hydroxymethyl-3'-O-phosphonomethyl-β-d-5'-deoxyxylose nucleoside analogs in satisfying yield.

Treatment of a titanatrane complex with trimethylsilyl chloride and magnesium powder in tetrahydrofuran generated a low-valent titanium species. This species catalyzed the radical ring opening of epoxides and oxetanes to produce the corresponding less substituted alcohols. The reagent also catalyzed the deallylation and depropargylation of allylic and propargylic ethers, respectively, to provide the parent alcohols.
