Homo‐C‐nucleoside analogs IV. Synthesis of 4‐(2,5‐anhydro‐D‐altro‐pentitol‐1‐yl)‐2‐phenyl‐2H‐1,2,3‐triazole homo‐C‐nucleoside. CD assignment of the absolute configuration of the carbon bridge

Abstract

Dehydrative cyclization of 4-(D-altro-pentitol-1-yl)2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole in basic medium with one moler equivalent of p-toluene sulfonyl chloride in pyridine solution gave the homo-C-nucleoside 4-(2,5-anhydro-D-altro-1-yl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole. The structure and anomeric configuration was determined by acylation, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and mass spectroscopy. The stereochemistry at the carbon bridge of homo-C-nucleoside 2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles was determined by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy.
