REACTIONS OF 2',3'-DI-O-MESYL-LYXO-URIDINE WITH SECONDARY-AMINES - FIRST REPORT ON THE ONE-POT CONVERSION OF MESYLATED NUCLEOSIDES TO ENAMINONUCLEOSIDES AND THE CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF ALPHA-ENAMINE
K. Sakthivel et al., REACTIONS OF 2',3'-DI-O-MESYL-LYXO-URIDINE WITH SECONDARY-AMINES - FIRST REPORT ON THE ONE-POT CONVERSION OF MESYLATED NUCLEOSIDES TO ENAMINONUCLEOSIDES AND THE CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF ALPHA-ENAMINE, Tetrahedron, 50(46), 1994, pp. 13251-13260
2',3'-Di-O-mesyl-5'-O-trityl-lyxo-uridine 1 reacted with secondary ami
nes to produce enaminonucleosides 2a-d and 3a-d. Intermediacy of 2'-ke
touridine was essential for the anomerisation and enamine formation to
take place. The structure of the beta-enamine was established unambig
uously by analysing the hydrolysed product and that of alpha-enamine w
as proved with the help of crystal structure analysis.
