Thiosugars. VIII. Preparation of new 4′-thio-L-lyxo pyrimidine nucleoside analogues

Reaction of 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-4-thio-L-lyxofuranose with silylated pyrimidine bases and subsequent deprotection with boron tribromide led to 4′-thio-L-lyxo pyrimidine nucleosides. The 5-bromo-6-methyl derivative was prepared from methyl 2,3,5-

Synthesis and biological activity of 4′-thio-L-xylofuranosyl nucleosides

A series of 4′-thio-L-xylofuranosyl nucleosides were prepared and evaluated as potential anticancer and antiviral agents. The details of a convenient and high-yielding synthesis of the carbohydrate precursor 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-4- thio-L-xylofuranose (6) are presented. Proof of structure and configuration at all chiral centers of the nucleosides was obtained by proton and carbon NMR. All target compounds were evaluated in a series of human cancer cell lines in culture and as antiviral agents.

Thiosugars, 2: Preparation of 2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-4-thio-L-arabino- furanosides and the corresponding 4'-thionucleoside analogues

1-O-Acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-4-thio-L-arabino-furanose (9) has been prepared from D-xylose via the 1,4-dithio-L-arabino-furanoside 8. The crucial step of the reaction, i.e. the intramolecular cyclization of the open-chain dithioacetal 5, has been achieved in a yield of 90% by applying tetrabutylammonium iodide as promoter. Reaction of 9 with bis(trimethylsilyl)uracil or -thymine led to the benzyl derivatives 12 and 13 from which the deprotected 4'-thionucleoside analogues 14 and 15 have been prepared by debenzylation with boron tribromide.

Synthesis of L-enantiomers of 4'-thioarabinofuranosyl pyrimidine nucleosides

L-Enantiomers of 4'-thioarabinofuranosyl pyrimidine nucleosides were synthesized from D-xylose. Methyl 2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-D-xylofuranoside 6 was converted to the corresponding xylitol 7, which was treated with MsCl and then Na2S to give 1,4-anhydro-L-4-thioarabitol 8. As previously reported, Pummerer rearrangement of 8 followed by glycosylation with a silylated thymine and N4-acetylcytosine derivative and deprotection gave the corresponding α- and β-L-4'-thioarabinofuranosyl pyrimidine nucleosides.
