C-Nucleoside Studies. Part 17. The Synthesis of 3(5)-Carbamoyl-5(3)-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazole (4-Deoxypyrazofurin) and 4-Amino-3(5)-carbamoyl-5(3)-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazole

4-Amino-3(5)-cyano-5(3)-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazole (10) was converted into the diazopyrazole (11) by treatment with nitrous acid.On photolysis in aqueous dioxane using visible light compound (11) gave 3(5)-cyano-5(3)-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazole (12) which formed the corresponding amide (13) (75percent) with alkaline hydrogen peroxide.Deprotection of compound (13) with methanolic ammonia afforded 3(5)-carbamoyl-5(3)-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazole (4) (74percent), the 4-deoxy analogue of pyrazofurin (3). 3(5)-Cyano-4-nitro-5(3)-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazole (1) reacted with dihydropyran and toluene-p-sulphonic acid to give the N-tetrahydropyranyl) derivative (21) (66.5percent).Hydrolysis of the nitrile group of compound (21), using alkaline hydrogen peroxide, afforded the amide (22) (71percent) which was deprotected to give 3(5)-carbamoyl-4-nitro-5(3)-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazole (23) (83percent).Catalytic reduction of compound (23) gave 4-amino-3(5)-carbamoyl-5(3)-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrazole (5) (83percent) which could be converted into formycin B (24) (69percent).
