Methods of preparation of N-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonomethoxypropyl) (HPMP) derivatives of (2S)- and (2R)-configuration (compounds I and XXVII, respectively) are described. The general method starts from the corresponding N-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl) derivatives which were converted either into the (R)-enantiomers XIII by reaction of the base with (R)-glycidol butyrate (XII) in the presence of cesium carbonate and subsequent methanolysis, or into the (S)-enantiomers XI by alkylation of the base with (R)-2,2-dimethyl-4-tosyloxymethyl-1,3-dioxolane (V) in the presence of the same reagent. The amino groups on the heterocyclic base in compounds XI and XIII were benzoylated by silylation followed by reaction with benzoyl chloride and the obtained N-benzoates XV and XVII on reaction with trityl chloride afforded the corresponding 3'-O-trityl derivatives XVI and XVIII. These compounds were condensed with bis(2-propyl) p-sulfonyloxymethylphosphonate (XXIII) in dimethylformamide in the presence of sodium hydride to give the fully protected diesters XXIV and XXVIII. These compounds could be selectively acid-hydrolyzed to remove the trityl group only under formation of compounds XXXV, or methanolyzed and then acid-hydrolyzed to remove the trityl and N-benzoyl groups and lead to compounds XXVI and XXX, or treated with bromotrimethylsilane to remove the trityl and 2-propyl group to give phosphonates of the type XXXI. All the three types of compounds were then converted into free phosphonates of the (S)-series (I) and the (R)-series (XXVII). Derivatives of cytosine (Ia, XXVIIa), adenine (Ib, XXVIIb), 2,6-diaminopurine (Ic, XXVIIc) and guanine (Id, XXVIId) were prepared. Condensation of the partially blocked adenine deriavtive XXXV with the tosyl derivative XXIII and subsequent deprotection afforded 9-(S)-(2,3-diphosphonomethoxy propyl)adenine (XLIII). Reaction of the same compound XXXV or its (R)-enantiomer XXXVIII with diethyl phosphonate , followed by deblocking, afforded 3'-O-phosphoryl derivatives (S)-HPMPA (XXXVII) and (R)-HPMPA (XL).

Analogs of antiviral 9-(2-phosphonomethoxyethyl)adenine (PMEA,II), containing modified purine bases 1-deazaadenine (VII, 3-deazapurine (XI), 7-deaza-7-cyanoadenine (XIIIb) and 3-deazaguanine (XXIb) were prepared by alkylation of the heterocyclic bases with bis(2-propyl) 2-chloroethoxymethylphosphonate (V) in dimethylformamide in the presence of sodium hydride or cesium carbonate. The obtained protected derivatives were deblocked with bromotrimethylsilane to give the phosphonic acids. 3-DeazaPMEG (XXIb) is active against DNA viruses and exhibits a marked cytostatic effect against L-1210 leukemia.

We report here a general method for the synthesis of new symmetrical bis-phosphonates of acyclic nucleosides. 1,3-Bis[(diisopropoxyphosphoryl)methoxy] derivatives of purine and pyrimidine bases were prepared by their reaction with 1,3-bis[(diisopropoxyphosphoryl)-methoxy]propan-2-yl tosylate. Cytosine, uracil and thymine provided regiospecificallyN1-isomers. This alkylation regiospecificity applies to several other tosylates of primary and secondary alcohols as well. 6-Chloropurine and 2-amino-6-chloropurine were alkylated in N9position. Resulting bis-phosphonates were converted to the respective free phosphonic acids and tested for antiviral and cytostatic activity. Despite the fact that no biological activity was found so far, the outcome of this work can serve as a useful tool in synthesis of novel groups of acyclic nucleoside phosphonates (ANPs).

Alginate gel-entrapped cells of auxotrophic thymine-dependent strain of E. coli catalyze the transfer of 2-deoxy-D-ribofuranosyl moiety of 2'-deoxyuridine to purine and pyrimidine bases as well as their aza and deaza analogs. All experiments invariably gave β-anomers; in most cases, the reaction was regiospecific, affording N9-isomers in the purine and N1-isomers in the pyrimidine series. Also a 2,3-dideoxynucleoside can serve as donor of the glycosyl moiety. The acceptor activity of purine bases depends only little on substitution, the only condition being the presence of N7-nitrogen atom. On the other hand, in the pyrimidine series the activity is limited to only a narrow choice of mostly short 5-alkyl and 5-halogeno uracil derivatives. Heterocyclic bases containing amino groups are deaminated; this can be avoided by conversion of the base to the corresponding N-dimethylaminomethylene derivative which is then ammonolyzed. The method was verified by isolation of 9-(2-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl) derivatives of adenine, guanine, 2-chloroadenine, 6-methylpurine, 8-azaadenine, 8-azaguanine, 1-deazaadenine, 3-deazaadenine, 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl) derivatives of 5-ethyluracil, 5-fluorouracil, and 9-(2,3-dideoxy-β-D-pentofuranosyl)hypoxanthine, 9-(2,3-dideoxy-β-D-pentofuranosyl)-6-methylpurine, and other nucleosides.

Reaction of (R)-1-O-p-toluenesulfonyl-1,2,3-propanetriol (IV) with N-trimethylacetylimidazole (II) afforded (R)-1-O-p-toluenesulfonyl-3-O-trimethyacetyl-1,2,3-propanetriol (V) which was reacted with dimethoxymethane in the presence of phosphorus pentoxide to give (R)-2-O-methoxymethyl-1-O-p-toluenesulfonyl-3-O-trimethyacetyl-1,2,3-propanetriol (VI). Compound VI was treated with acetic anhydride and boron trifluoride etherate and the obtained 2-acetoxy derivative VII reacted with bromotrimethylsilane to give the intermediary bromomethyl ether VIII. Compound VIII on reaction with tris(2-propyl) phosphite afforded (R)-2-O-bis(2-propyl)phosphonomethyl-1-O-p-toluenesulfonyl-3-O-trimethyacetyl-1,2,3-propanetriol (IX). Condensation of synthon IX with sodium salts of adenine, 2,6-diaminopurine, or with cytosine, 6-azacytosine or 2-chloroadenine in the presence of cesium carbonate, afforded fully protected diesters X and XIIIb which on methanolysis and reaction with bromotrimethylsilane gave N-[(S)-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)] derivatives of adenine (XIa), 2- chloroadenine (XIb), 2,6-diaminopurine (XIc), cytosine (XIVa) and 6-azacytosine (XIVb). In an analogous reaction, sodium salt of 4-methoxy-2-pyrimidone reacted with compound IX to give an intermediate XIIIa which on treatment with methanolic ammonia and subsequent deblocking under the same conditions also afforded the cytosine derivative XIVa. Sodium salt of 2-amino-6-chloropurine was in this way converted into the corresponding 2-aminopurine derivative XVIII. Deprotection of this compound gave 9-(S)-(3-hydroxy-2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)-2-aminopurine (XIX).

The (R)- and (S)-N-(2-phosphonomethoxypropyl) derivatives of purine and pyrimidine bases (PMP derivatives) exhibit very high activity against retroviruses. This paper describes the synthesis of enantiomeric 9-(2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)adenines (I and XXVII), 9-(2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)-2,6-diaminopurines (II and XXXI), 9-(2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)guanines (III and XXIX) and 1-(R)-(2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)cytosine (XIX) by alkylation of N-protected N-(2-hydroxypropyl) derivatives of the corresponding bases with bis(2-propyl) p-toluenesulfonyloxymethylphosphonate (X), followed by stepwise N- and O-deprotection of the intermediates. The key intermediates, N-(2-hydroxypropyl) derivatives IX and XXV, were obtained by alkylation of the appropriate heterocyclic base with (R)- or (S)-2-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)propyl p-toluenesulfonate (VII or XXIII) and acid hydrolysis of the resulting N-[2-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)propyl] derivatives VIII and XXII. The chiral synthons were prepared by tosylation of (R)- or (S)-2-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)propanol (VI or XXI) available by reduction of enantiomeric alkyl 2-O-tetrahydropyranyllactates V and XXI with sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminum hydride. This approach was used for the synthesis of cytosine, adenine and 2,6-diaminopurine derivatives, while compounds derived from guanine were prepared by hydrolysis of 2-amino-6-chloropurine intermediates. Cytosine derivative IXe was also synthesized by alkylation of 4-methoxy-2-pyrimidone followed by ammonolysis of the intermediate IXf.

This manuscript reports the synthesis of a series of N-substituted derivatives of 2-phenitidine. First, the reaction of 2-phenitidine (1) with benzene sulfonyl chloride (2) yielded N-(2-ethoxyphenyl) benzenesulfonamide (3), which further on treatment with sodium hydride and alkyl halides (4a-g) furnished into new sulfonamides (5a-g). Second, the phenitidine reacted with benzoyl chloride (6) and acetyl chloride (8) to yield the reported N-benzoyl phenitidine (7) and N-acetyl phenitidine (9), respectively. These derivatives were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, ¹H-NMR, and EI-MS, and then screened against acetylcholinesterase, butylcholinesterase, and lipoxygenase enzyme, and were found to be potent inhibitors of butyrylcholinesterase alone.

A new group of compounds has been prepared: N-(3-fluoro-2-phosphonomethoxypropyl) (FPMP) derivatives of purine and pyrimidine bases which exhibit a significant selective activity against a broad spectrum of retroviruses. Racemic N-(3-fluoro-2-phosphonomethoxypropyl) derivatives of adenin (V), guanine (IX), cytosine (XIII), 2,6-diaminopurine (XXI), 3-deazaadenin e(XVII), xanthine (X) and hypoxanthin (VI) were prepared from the corresponding N-(3-fluoro-2-hydroxypropyl) derivatives after protection of amino group at the heterocyclic ring by selective benzoylation, reaction with diisopropyl p-toluenesulfonyloxymethylphosphonate (II), and subsequent removal of the protecting groups. Chiral FPMP derivatives were prepared by reaction of heterocyclic base with the corresponding chiral synthon (XXX, XXXVII) followed by deprotection. The required chiral synthons were obtained from enantiomeric 3-fluoro-1,2-propanediols by two methods. In the first, the primary hydroxyl group was tritylated, the obtained derivative was reacted with compound II, the trityl group was removed and the product was mesylated to give synthon XXXVII. The second pathway consisted in selective tosylation of the primary hydroxyl group and conversion of the secondary hydroxyl into the acetoxymethyl ether via the methoxymethyl ether; treatment of the acetoxy compound with bromotrimethylsilane and triisopropyl phosphite afforded the desired synthon XXX.

1. The synthesis of methyl 5-iodopyridine-2-carboximidate and its reaction with amino groups of model compounds and performic acid-oxidized insulin are described. The reagent was designed to introduce heavy atoms into specific sites in proteins. 2. Specific reaction with the amino groups of oxidized insulin can be achieved under reasonably mild conditions giving rise to the corresponding N-monosubstituted amidines. 3. The extent of reaction of this reagent with protein amino groups can be readily determined by difference spectroscopy. Modification of lysine residues inhibits tryptic cleavage at such residues, and this can be of assistance in establishing the site of modification in the primary structure. 4. Evidence is presented to show that methyl 5-iodopyridine-2-carboximidate can react specifically, at pH5.0, with the aromatic amino group of 3-amino-l-tyrosine; the final product of this reaction is a 2-arylbenzoxazole. 5. The use of this reagent as a general method for preparing heavy-atom isomorphous derivatives of proteins is discussed.

Another approach to (R)- and (S)-N-(2-phosphonomethoxypropyl) derivatives of purine and pyrimidine bases (PMP derivatives) I and II is described, consisting in alkylation of the heterocyclic base with (R)- and (S)-2-[bis(2-propyl)phosphonylmethoxy]propyl p-toluenesulfonates (X and XVIII) followed by transsilylation of the intermediary N-[2-bis(2-propyl)phosphonylmethoxypropyl] derivatives XI and XIX. The key intermediates X and XVIII were obtained from 1-benzyloxypropanols VI and XIV by two routes: (i) condensation with bis(2-propyl) p-toluenesulfonyloxymethylphosphonate (XIII), hydrogenolysis of the obtained 1-benzyloxy-2-bis(2-propyl)phosphonylmethoxypropanes VIII and XVI over Pd/C to 2-bis(2-propyl)phosphonylmethoxypropanols IX and XVII and tosylation of the latter or (ii) chloromethylation of compounds VI and XIV and subsequent reaction of the chloromethyl ethers VII and XV with tris(2-propyl) phosphite and further processing of the benzyl ethers VIII and XVI analogous to the enantiomeric propanols IX and XVII. This approach was used for the synthesis of derivatives of adenine (Ia, IIa), 2,6-diaminopurine (Ib, IIb) and 3-deazaadenine (Ic, IIc). Their guanine counterparts Ie and IIe were prepared by hydrolysis of 2-amino-6-chloropurine intermediates XId and XIXd. 6-Chloropurine was converted into diester XIi by reaction with tosylate X, which on reaction with thiourea and subsequent ester cleavage afforded the 6-thiopurine derivative Ij. Analogously, 2-amino-6-chloropurine derivative XId reacted with thiourea to give 9-(R)-(2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)-2-thioguanine (If), or with dimethylamine under formation of (2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)-2-amino-6-dimethylaminopurine (Ig). Hydrogenolysis of compound XId gave 9-(R)-(2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)-2-aminopurine (Ik). Hydrolytic deamination of adenine derivatives Ia and IIa led to enantiomeric (2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)hypoxanthines Ih and IIh.
