Abstract

Described is the efficient preparation of 2,3-anhydro-β-d-lyxofuranosyl pyrimidine nucleosides via the coupling of a 2,3-anhydrosugar-containing glycosyl donor (5 or 6) with a silylated nucleoside base. The products are obtained with a high degree of stereoselectivity and in 65-77% yield.

General Procedure for Glycosylations. Donor 5 or 6 (0.5 mmol), 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl pyridine (513 mg, 2.5 mmol), 4 Å molecular sieves (0.1 g) were dried for 3 h under vacuum in the presence of P2O5. To this mixture was added CH2Cl2 (10 mL) and the reaction mixture was cooled to -78 °C. Triflic anhydride (0.17 mL, 0.6 mmol) was added and the mixture was allowed to stir for 10 min before a solution of the persilylated nucleoside (7-11, 0.6 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (1.0 mL) was added dropwise via syringe over 2 min. After 15 min, the reaction mixture turned dark brown/green and a saturated solution of NaHCO3 was added before the solution was allowed to warm to room temperature. The resulting solution was filtered through Celite, dried, filtered, and concentrated to yield a crude oil that was purified by chromatography.
