The treatment of a 2′,3′-O-isopropylidene nucleoside with phosphorus trichloride in the presence of trimethyl phosphate and subsequent hydrolysis gave a nucleoside 5′-phosphite in an excellent yield. Triaryl phosphates, trialkylphosphine oxides, and trialkyl phosphites were also found to be potential accelerators of the reaction. Their effects were comparable to that of trimethyl phosphate. The similar treatment of a 5′-O-acetyl nucleoside gave mixed nucleoside 2′- and 3′-phosphites in an approximate mole ratio of 4 : 6. The reaction intermediate, nucleoside phosphorodichloridite, was subjected to partial hydrolysis, giving the corresponding monochloridite. The product was readily oxidized to give the 5′-nucleotide. Chlorine was generally suitable as an oxidizing agent, but iodine gave better results for guanosine derivatives than did chlorine or bromine. The treatment of an unprotected nucleoside with phosphorus oxychloride in a trialkyl phosphate, prior to the reaction with phosphorus trichloride, could be used for the synthesis of a nucleoside 2′(or 3′),5′-diphosphate in a good yield.
Die Phosphorylierung des 2 ′,3′‐O‐Isopropyliden‐nucleosids (I) mit P‐tri‐ Chlorid in Gegenwart von Trimethylphosphat und nachfolgende Hydrolyse führt zum 5′‐Phosphit (III) (90%).
Several reactions accompanied by the phosphorylation of 2', 3'-O-isopropylidene nucleosides with phosphoryl chloride in the absence of an organic solvent were investigated. When the 2', 3'-O-isopropylideneinosine and 5'-deoxy-2', 3'-O-isopropylidene-3, 5'-cycloinosine. This cycloinosine, was then further subjected to rapid cleavage in a pyrimidine ring to give 5-aminothe N5-formyl derivative of the latter. Similar sequences of the chlorination at the 5'-position and the cyclization between 3 and 5'-positions were observed in the case of 2', 3'-O-isopro
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
