Notes:
The two anomeric 1-(2′-deoxy-D-ribofuranosyl)-2(1H)-pyridones 6 and 7 were synthesized from 2-pyridone and 3,5-di-(O-p-toluoyl)-2-deoxy-D-ribofuranosyl chloride (2) via the di-O-p-toluoyl derivatives 3 and 4 using the mercuric halide procedure. Phosphorylation of the nucleosides 6 and 7 by bis-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)-chlorophosphate gave the phosphate esters 8 and 9 together with some 2-(bis-[2,2,2-trichloroethyl]-phosphoryloxy)-pyridine 10, which proved to be very labile. Structure and configuration of compounds 6 to 9 were established by spectral methods, the configurations being derived from the chemical shifts of the sugar protons and the splitting patterns of the anomeric protons (‘triplet-quartet rule’). The specific rotations of 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9 show that the three pairs of anomers represent exceptions to Hudson's rule of isorotation.Reductive removal of the trichloroethyl groups in 8 and 9 with zinc proceeds stepwise, yielding the phosphoro-diesters 13 and 14 and the two desired anomeric 5′-nucleotides 15 and 16. These latter were purified and characterised as the ammonium salts.Enzymatic cleavage by the 5′-nucleotidase of Crotalus adamanteus venom took place only in the ‘natural’ β-series. The ‘unnatural’ α-anomers were resistent to the enzyme.The structure of 10 was established by spectral methods and confirmed by synthesis.
