The synthesis of novel 1,3-oxazolidine pyrimidine nucleoside analogues are described. These analogues are all derived from the key stereochemically defined intermediate N-tert-butoxy-carbonyl-2hydroxymethyl-l,3-oxazolidine-4-ol which was accessible in 57% yield starting from L-serine methylester hydrochloride. The heterocyclic bases eg; uracil, thymine etc are efficiently introduced onto the 1,3-oxazolidine by the Vorbruggen procedures. The antimicrobial activity of novel 1,3-oxazolidine nucleoside analogues are highlighted. The compounds 7d and 7e showed significant activity against bacteria and fungus.
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.
