A general approach to 3', 4'-unsaturated nucleosides (15a-d) is described which proceeds from a 2'-deoxy-nucleoside uronic acid ester (2a-d, 3, 8) via a facile elimination reaction effected on the corresponding 2'-deoxy-3'-O-methylsulfonylribonucleoside uronic acidester (4a-e), by the action ofeither triethylamine or sodium benzoate in DMF. Selective reduction of the carbalkoxy function of the intermediate 3', 4'-unsaturated nucleoside uronic esters (5a-d, 11) was accomplished with sodium bis (methoxyethoxy) aluminum hydride. Catalytic (Pd/C) hydrogenation of 5a in ethanol affords a single isomer, ethyl 3'-deoxythymidine uronate (17), which on hydride reduction yields a product identical with 3'-deoxythymidine. Degradation of4a to thymine and ethyl furoate was observed on treatment with potassium ferf-butoxide. The same course of reaction was observed in the reaction of either 2a or 5a with dimethylformamidedineopentyl acetal. Attempts to induce the elimination reaction in the case of 4a with pyridine led instead to thesubstitution product, ethyl 3'-deoxy-3'-(-pyridinium) thymidine uronate methyl sulfonate (6). The elements of pyridinium sulfonate are readily eliminated from 6 on treatment with sodiumbenzoate in DMF. Unlike pyridine, 2, 6-lutidineconverts 4a to 5a. Reaction of ethyl 2', 3'-di-O-methylsulfonyluridine uronate (4e) with (C2H3) 3N in DMF gave ethyl 5-(uracil-1-yl) furoate (13) in high yield. The same product (13) was obtained on treatment of ethyl uridine uronate (2d) with diphenyl carbonate. The relationship of these elimination reactions to the conversion of uridine uronic acid (Id) to o-(uracil-1-yl) furoic acid (13) in refluxing acetic anhydride is discussed. Moreover, the application of the latter conditions to thymidine uronic acid (la) leads to 3'-deoxy-3', 4'-didehydrothymidine uronic acid (14), which was characterized as the ethyl ester 5a. The nmr spectra of 5a-d, 11, and 15a-d are discussed.As a result of studies conducted in this laboratory and others, methods have been developed to introduce both endo-and exocyclicunsaturation into the sugar moiety of a wide spectrum of nucleosides. 2 In point of fact, of the four possible (mono-) olefinic nucleosides (I-IV), only recently has a successful approach to 1-(2-deoxy-Df/ireo-pent-l-enofuranosyl) pyrimidines (IV) been described. 28 However, only I and II have to date received detailed physicochemical3 and bio-chemical2k’2r’4 study.
