Abstract

The synthesis of a novel spiro-nucleotide, in which the C(4′) and the C(5′) of a nucleotide are connected by an additional ethylene bridge, is reported. The γ-torsional angle of the resulting novel nucleotides is in the region of the one observed in natural double stranded DNA.

Keywords

DNA - asymmetric synthesis - dihydroxylations - nucleosides - spiro compounds

  • 13 Literature precedent in a related system suggested that NaBH4 would result in chemoselective reduction of the epoxide at C(2′) along with reduction of the lactone to the lactol. Inspection of the 13C NMR data presented by the authors, however, indicates that their results were misinterpreted: Ortuno RM. Cardellach J. Font J. J. Heterocycl. Chem.  1987,  24:  79

This ee is not sufficient for incorporation of the prepared nucleosides into oligonucleotides.

Ee’s were determined by chiral HPLC (Chiralcel OD-H); for analytical purpose, the enantiomer of 4 was prepared with β-AD-mix.
