STEREOSPECIFIC SYNTHESIS AND ANTI-HIV ACTIVITY OF (Z)2'-DEOXY-2'(3')-C-(CHLOROMETHYLENE) AND (E)3'-DEOXY-2'(3')-C-(CHLOROMETHYLENE) PYRIMIDINE NUCLEOSIDES
En. Kalinichenko et al., STEREOSPECIFIC SYNTHESIS AND ANTI-HIV ACTIVITY OF (Z)2'-DEOXY-2'(3')-C-(CHLOROMETHYLENE) AND (E)3'-DEOXY-2'(3')-C-(CHLOROMETHYLENE) PYRIMIDINE NUCLEOSIDES, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 14(3-5), 1995, pp. 533-536
Reaction of 1-[2,5(and 3,5)-di-O-trityl-beta-D-erythro-pentofuran-3(an
d 2)-ulosyl]uracil derivatives 5 and 6 with (chloromethyl)triphenylpho
sphorane resulted in the stereoselective formation of (E)-3'- and (Z)-
2'-chloromethylene derivatives 7 (69%) and 8 (53%), respectively, depr
otection of which gave 9 and 10. Transformation of the uracil nucleosi
de 7 into cytosine one followed by deprotection yielded 12. The latter
was converted into the arabinoside 14. The fully deprotected chlorome
thylene nucleosides were tested for their activity against HIV-1 and H
IV-2.
