Reaction of sodium salt of adenine with 1,6:3,4-dianhydro-2-O-p-toluenesulfonyl-β-D-galactopyranose (I) afforded 4-(adenin-9-yl)-1,6:2,3-dianhydro-4-deoxy-β-D-mannopyranose (II) and 2,4-bis(adenin-9-yl)-1,6-anhydro-2,4-dideoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (IV). Compound II was converted into 4-(adenin-9-yl)-1,6-anhydro-4-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (VI). Cleavage of the 1,6-anhydro bond in this compound with hot concentrated hydrochloric acid led to 4-(adenin-9-yl)-4-deoxy-D-glucose (VIII) which was reduced with sodium borohydride to give 4-(adenin-9-yl)-4-deoxy-D-glucitol (IX). Epoxide II was reduced with lithium aluminium hydride and the obtained 4-(adenin-9-yl)-1,6-anhydro-2,4-dideoxy-β-D-arabinohexopyranose (VII) on treatment with dilute hydrochloric acid and subsequent reduction with sodium borohydride gave 4-(adenin-9-yl)-2,4-dideoxy-D-arabino-hexitol (XI).

Reduction of diethyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-DL-tartrate (II) with lithium aluminium hydride afforded 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-threo-4,5-dimethanol (III) which was transformed to the monotosyl derivative VI. Reaction of this compound with sodium salt of adenine, followed by acidic deblocking, gave 9-(DL)-threo-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)adenine (IX). Analogously, 9-(DL)-erythro-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)adenine (XVII) was prepared from diethyl meso-tartrate (XI) via the diol XIII and the tosyl derivative XV. 1,3-O-Benzylidene-D-threitol (D-XVIII) was converted successively into the 4-O-tosyl derivative XIX and the 2-O-benzoyl-4-O-tosyl derivative XX. Reaction of the compound XX with sodium salt of adenine, followed by removal of the protecting groups in the intermediate XXI, afforded 9-(D)-threo-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)adenine (D-XXII); analogously, 1,3-O-benzylidene-L-threitol (L-XVIII) was transformed into the 9-(L)-threo-derivative L-XXII. The D-threo-derivative D-XXII was prepared also from 5-O-tosyl-3-O-benzoyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-xylofuranoside (XXIII) or from 3-O-benzyl derivative XXIX by condensation with sodium salt of adenine, followed by acidic hydrolysis, degradation of the 1,2-diol grouping by sodium periodate and sodium borohydride, and methanolysis or hydrogenolysis. An analogous procedure was used for preparation of 1-(D)-threo-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)uracil (D-XXVII). Methyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-5-benzoyl-6-tosyl-D-mannofuranoside (XXXVI) was transformed to the 5-(adenin-9-yl) derivative XXXVII which after hydrolysis of the dioxolane ring, followed by cleavage of the cis-diol with sodium periodate, reduction with sodium borohydride and methanolysis, afforded 9-(D)-erythro-(2,3,4-trihydroxybutyl)adenine (D-XL). The L-enantiomer (L-XL) was obtained from 5-O-(adenin-9-yl)-3-O-benzoyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-β-L-arabinofuranoside (XXXIIIb) by acidic cleavage, degradation of the intermediate XXXIV with periodate and methanolysis.

(1R*,2R*,3R*,4S*)-7-Oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-dimethanol (10) and (1R*,2R*,3R*,4S*)-bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-2,3-dimethanol (14), which were prepared by the Diels–Alder reaction and subsequent reduction with lithium aluminium hydride, were treated with benzyl azidoformate to give benzylN-[(1R*,2R*,3S*,6S*,7S*,9S*)-9-(hydroxymethyl)-4,8-dioxatricyclo[4.2.1.03,7]nonan-2-yl]carbamate (11) and benzylN-[(1R*,2R*,3R*,6R*,7S*,10S*)-10-(hydroxymethyl)-4-oxatricyclo[4.3.1.03,7]decan-2-yl]carbamate (15). Hydrogenolysis of carbamates11or15afforded (1R*,2R*,3S*,6S*,7S*,9S*)-2-amino-4,8-dioxatricyclo[4.2.1.03,7]nonane-9-methanol (12) or (1R*,2R*,3R*,6R*,7S*,10S*)-2-amino-4-oxatricyclo[4.3.1.03,7]decane-10-methanol (16). The amines12and16were transformed to thymine and purine nucleoside analogues. The target compounds were tested for the activity againstCoxsackievirus.

2'-Hydroxychalcones and α-alkoxy-2'-hydroxychalcones are converted by sodium borohydride in isopropanol into flav-3-enes and 3-alkoxyflav-3-enes in the convenient new synthesis which makes these flavenes readily available. Catalytic reduction of the flavenes gives the corresponding flavans or 3-alkoxyflavans in high yield, and the latter are obtained mainly in the 2,s-cis-form. The flavenes immediately give flavs lium cations in the cold when treated with acids in air, and oxidation of 5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflav-3-ene with benzoquinone in an acidic medium gave the flavylium salt, isolated as the ferrichloride. Reduction of 5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxy-flavylium chloride with lithium aluminium hydride gave 5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxy-flav-2-ene identical with the flavene obtained from (-)-epicatechin tetramethyl ether, and confirms an earlier investigation by Gramshaw, Johnson, and King. In its N.M.R. spectrum the heterocyclic-ring protons of this flav-2-ene give an ABX multiplet which is easily distinguished from the ABX multiplet at much lower field characteristic of flav-3-enes.

Reaction of all stereoisomeric 3-acetoxy-4,4-dimethyl-5,6β-epoxy-A-homo-5β-cholestan-4a-ols I-IV with lithium aluminium hydride and reduction of 3-acetoxy-4,4-dimethyl-5,6β-epoxy-A-homo-5β-cholestan-4a-ones XXII and XXIII with sodium borohydride were studied. It was found that reductive opening of the 5β,6β-epoxide ring occured only in the case of the derivatives III and IV due to 5(O)n participation of the 3α-oxygen-containing substituent under formation of the transannular 3α,5α-epoxides VIII and IX, resp. On reduction of the 4a-keto epoxides XXII and XXIII with sodium borohydride the trans-epoxy alcohols III and I were formed. On the basis of 1H NMR data the conformation of the A-ring in the epoxides I-IV, XXII, and XXIII is also discussed.

Lithium aluminium hydride or sodium borohydride reduced 1-thiaflavanone, 6-methyl-1-thiaflavanone, and 4'-chloro-1-thiaflavanone to the corresponding 2,4-cis-1-thiaflavan-4-ols. Deamination of 2,4-cis-4-amino-1-thiaflavans with nitrous acid gave rise to the 2,4-trans-1-thiaflavan-4-ols. N.m.r. measurements were used to determine the stereochemistry of these compounds.

6-(4-Hydroxy-3-methylbut-trans-2-enylamino)purine (zeatin), a cytokinin isolated from Zea mays, has been synthesized by a new route. β- Methylcrotononitrile was brominated with N-bromosuccinimide yielding γ- bromo-β-methylcrotononitrile, from which trans-γ-acetoxy-β- methylcrotononitrile was prepared. The alcohol derived from this acetate was converted into trans-β-methyl-γ-(tetrahydropyran-2- yloxy)crotononitrile. Reduction and acid hydrolysis gave 4-amino-2- methylbut-trans-2-en-1-ol which was made to react with 6-chloropurine to yield zeatin. ��� Several γ-alkoxy-β-methylcrotononitriles were prepared and reduced by aluminium chloride-lithium aluminium hydride to the corresponding unsaturated amines. Saturated nitrile formation also occurred in these reductions. The amines prepared were condensed with 6-chloropurine to yield a series of O-alkylzeatins. A number of other zeatin analogues were also synthesized. Two 6-methoxyalkylamino-purines were cleaved by sodium borohydride in the presence of iodine to 6-hydroxy- alkylaminopurines.
