Condensation of adenine and its substituted derivatives with 1,1-dialkoxy-2-bromoalkanes afforded substituted 2-(adenin-9-yl)-1,1-dialkoxyalkanes I and IV. Acid hydrolysis of I or IV, followed by reaction with alkali metal cyanides and acid hydrolysis, gave substituted 3-(adenin-9-yl)-2-hydroxyalkanoic acids II, Vand VI. Methyl esters of these compounds (VIII) were converted into 3-(adenin-9-yl)alkane-1,2-diols IX by reduction with sodium borohydride. 3-(Adenin-9-yl)-2-methoxypropanoic acid (XVII) was obtained by oxidation of 9-(3-hydroxy-2-methoxypropyl)adenine (XVI) with sodium periodate; 4-(adenin-9-yl)-2-(S)-hydroxybutanoic acid (XXVII) was synthesized by oxidation of 9-(S)-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy-4-hydroxybutyl)adenine (XXV), prepared from diethyl L-malate. Acid hydrolysis of XXV afforded 9-(S)-(2,4-dihydroxybutyl)adenine (XXVI). 4-(Adenin-9-yl)-3-hydroxypentanoic acid (XXIX) was obtained by reaction of malonic acid with 2-(adenin-9-yl)-1,1-diethoxypropane (IVa) in water.

N-Protected esters of 3,4-dehydro-DL-proline react with trifluoroperacetic acid to give, in high yield, approximately equal amounts of the corresponding stereoisomeric 3,4-epoxy-DL-proline derivatives, direct separation of which proved difficult. However individual members of the two families were obtained by discovery of selective transformations and fractionations. Relative configurations of the two 3,4-epoxy-N-tosylproline methyl esters were established by borohydride reduction to authentic 4-hydroxy-N-tosylprolinols. Epoxide reduction is regioselective. Extensive p.m.r. analyses then permitted stereochemical assignment of other derivatives. These epoxides are remarkably resistant to catalytic hydrogenolysis, and to hydration in acid or alkali. N-Substituted 3,4-epoxyproline methyl esters undergo ready β-elimination in alkali to yield the corresponding 4-hydroxy-2,3- dehydroproline esters and ultimately the N-substituted pyrrole-2- carboxylic acid or ester. Prolonged aqueous acid hydrolysis of 3,4- epoxy-N-tosylprolines, or of their methyl esters, gives mixtures of 3,4-dihydroxy-N-tosyl-DL-prolines in the 2,3-cis-3,4-trans and 2,3- trans-3,4-trans families. Their stereochemistry was allotted from p.m.r. of the diacetate methyl esters. During acid hydrolysis of 3,4- epoxy-N-tosylproline methyl esters, the ester of the trans stereoisomer hydrolyses selectively, and some epimerization of the cis stereoisomer occurs. Ester hydrolysis is much faster than epoxide hydration. Anhydrous acid cleavage of 3,4-epoxy-N-tosyl-DL-proline t-butyl esters to the epoxy acids is unusually slow.

D-Eritadenine (Ia) and L-eritadenine (IIa) were prepared from 5-(adenin-9-yl)-5-deoxyaldofuranoses or enantiomeric 2,3-disubstituted erythronolactones (VIIIb, c, XIV). Oxidation of methyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-ribofuranoside (IX) with periodate in the presence of ruthenium, followed by acid hydrolysis and reduction with sodium borohydride, afforded L-ribonolactone (XI). Its 2,3-O-isopropylidene derivative was subjected to alkaline hydrolysis, followed by oxidation with periodate, reduction with sodium borohydride and reaction with cyclohexanone to give 2,3-O-cyclohexylidene-L-erythronolactone (XIV). Condensation of [U-14C]-adenine with VIIIb, followed by acid hydrolysis, afforded [U-14C-adenine]-D-eritadenine. The threo-eritadenines III and IV were prepared by oxidation of 1-(adenin-9-yl)-1-deoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidenethreitols XVI and XVII with sodium periodate in the presence of ruthenium, followed by acid hydrolysis. Reaction of 9-(2,2-diethoxyethyl)adenine (XIX) with malonic acid gave 4-(adenin-9-yl)-3-butenoic acid (XXI); its methyl ester XXII, prepared by treatment with methanol, was isomerized with triethylamine to give methyl 4-(adenin-9-yl)-2-butenoate (XXIII). Hydroxylation of XXIII with osmium tetroxide afforded the racemic mixture of D- and L-threo-eritadenine (III+ IV). Eritadenines Ia and IIa were active against vaccinia, measles and vesicular stomatitis virus. Eritadenine Ia was also effective against reo- and parainfluenza virus. In general, the antiviral activity of the eritadenines decreased in the order D-erythro (Ia) > L-erythro (IIa) > D- and L-threo (III, IV).

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.

Partial acid hydrolysis of polyalcohols derived from some 1,4-O-linked polysaccharides gave cyclic O-2′-hydroxyethylidene derivatives as by-products in yields of 6–18%. Polysaccharides containing β-links such as Rhodotorula glutinis mannan and cellulose gave rise to 6-membered ring acetals with lesser amounts of the 5-membered ring form. On the other hand, two α-linked polyalcohols, obtained following partial and complete oxidation of starch with sodium periodate, were converted to 5-membered O-2′-hydroxyethylidene acetals.

1-(Adenin-9-yl)-1-deoxy-DL-ribitol (III), -D-arabitol (IXa), -L-arabitol (XIVa), -DL-xylitol (XXIVa), 1-(cytosin-L-yl)-1-deoxy-D-arabitol (IXb), -L-arabitol (XIVb), 1-(uracil-1-yl)-1-deoxy-D-arabitol (IXc), -L-arabitol (XIVc) and -DL-xylitol (XXIVb) were prepared by reaction of 1-O-p-toluenesulfonyl-2,3:4,5-di-O-isopropylidenealditols Ib, VIIb, XIIb and XXIIb with sodium salts of adenine, N4-benzoylcytosine or 4-methoxy-2-pyrimidone followed by removal of the protecting groups. Condensation of the mentioned sodium salts with methyl 5-O-p-toluenesulfonyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranoside (IV) with subsequent acid hydrolysis and reduction with sodium borohydride afforded 1-(adenin-9-yl)-1-deoxy-L-ribitol (VIa) and 1-(cytosin-1-yl)-1-deoxy-L-ribitol (VIb). 1-(Adenin-9-yl)-1-deoxy-L-lyxitol (XVII), -L-lyxitol (XVIII) and -2-O-methyl-D-lyxitol (XXI) were prepared analogously. Acid hydrolysis of 5-(adenin-9-yl)-5-deoxy-4-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-xylofuranose (XXVa), followed by reduction with sodium borohydride and catalytic hydrogenation, gave 1-(adenin-9-yl)-1-deoxy-L-xylitol (XXVIb).

Treatment of methyl 3,6-dideoxy-2,4-di-O-methylsulfonyl-3-nitro-α-L-glucopyranoside (2) with sodium acetate and acetic acid in acetone gave methyl 4-O-acetyl-2,3,6-trideoxy-3-nitro-α-L-erythro-hex-2-enopyranoside (3) as a kinetic product, and the 2-O-acetyl-3,4,6-trideoxy-3-nitro-α-L-threo-hex-3-eno isomer 4 as the thermodynamically preferred product. Treatment of 2 or 4 with sodium borohydride produced a separable mixture of methyl 2,3,4,6-tetradeoxy-3-nitro-α-L-threo-hexopyranoside (5) and its α-L-erythro epimer (6), the latter being convertible into the former by base-catalyzed epimerization. Acid hydrolysis of 5 and 6 afforded the corresponding free nitro sugars 7 and 8. Catalytic hydrogenation of 5 led to the corresponding amino glycoside, isolated as the acetate 9 or hydrochloride 10; similarly, 6 gave the epimeric amine which was isolated as its acetate 14 or picrate 15. N-Trifluoroacetylation of 9 provided the N-trifluoroacetyl glycoside 12 which was hydrolyzed to give a 49% yield (overall from 2) of 2,3,4,6-tetradeoxy-3-trifluoroacetamido-L-threo-hexose (4-deoxy-N-trifluoroacetyldaunosamine, 13). Analogously, 14 afforded the epimeric N-trifluoroacetyl glycoside 17 which was hydrolyzed to give a 28% overall yield of 2,3,4,6-tetradeoxy-3-trifluoroacetamido-L-erythro-hexose (4-deoxy-N-trifluoroacetylristosamine, 18).

Reaction of 1,3-dichloro-2-propanone (VII) with methylmagnesium chloride, followed by alkaline hydrolysis, afforded 2-methylpropane-1,2,3-triol (VIII) which on treatment with 2,2-dimethoxypropane and subsequent tosylation gave 4-(p-toluenesulfonyloxymethyl)-2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-dioxolane (IXb). Compound IXb was condensed with sodium salt of adenine and the intermediate X was acid-hydrolysed to give 9-(RS)-(2,3-dihydroxy-2-methylpropyl)adenine (XI). Oxidation of XI with sodium periodate led to 9-(2-oxopropyl)adenine (XII). 9-(RS)-(2-Hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyloctyl)adenine (XVI) was obtained analogously from compound VII and hexylmagnesium bromide via triol XIV. Methyl 2-bromomethyl-2-propenoate (XVII) reacted with sodium salt of adenine and the resulting methyl 2-(adenin-9-ylmethyl)-2-propenoate (XVIII) was hydroxylated with sodium perchlorate and osmium tetroxide. The obtained methyl (RS)-2-(adenin-9-ylmethyl)-2,3-dihydroxypropanoate (XIX) was alkali-hydrolysed to give sodium salt of the acid XX. Reduction of ester XIX with sodium borohydride furnished 9-(RS)-(2,3-dihydroxy-2-hydroxymethylpropyl)adenine (XXI). 1-Nonen-3-ol (XXIII), obtained by reaction of propenal with hexylmagnesium bromide, was converted by hydroxylation with osmium tetroxide into nonane-1,2,3-triol (XXIVa) and further into its 1-O-p-toluenesulfonate XXIVb which reacted with 2,2-dimethoxypropane to give 2,2-dimethyl-4-hexyl-5-(p-toluenesulfonyloxymethyl)-1,3-dioxolane (XXV). Compound XXV reacted with adenine and the resulting intermediate XXVI was converted into 9-(RS)-(2,3-dihydroxynonyl)adenine (XXVII) by acid hydrolysis. 9-(3-Methyl-2-buten-1-yl)adenine (XXVIII), obtained by alkylation of sodium salt of adenine with 1-bromo-3-methyl-2-butene, was oxidized with potassium permanganate in an acid medium to give 9-(3-hydroxy-2-oxo-3-methylbutyl)adenine (XXIX). This compound was converted into 9-(RS)-(2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutyl)adenine (XXX) by reduction with sodium borohydride. 4-C-Hydroxymethyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-xylofuranose (XXXII) reacted with 2,2-dimethoxypropane under formation of 4-C-hydroxymethyl-1,2:3,5-di-O-isopropylidene derivative XXXIIIa whose p-toluenesulfonyl derivative XXXIIIb on treatment with adenine afforded 4-C-(adenin-9-yl)methyl-1,2:3,5-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-xylofuranose (XXXIV). Acid hydrolysis of this compound, followed by oxidation in an alkaline medium, gave (2S,3R)-4-(adenin-9-yl)-3-hydroxymethyl-2,3-dihydroxybutanoic acid, isolated as its ethyl ester XXXVI.

17,17-Ethylenedioxy-3-methoxy(9,12,12-2H3)-9β-oestra-l,3,5(10)-trien-11-one (3) was reduced to the mixture of 11-epimeric alcohols (4) which upon elimination of DHO gave the (12,12-2H2)-9(11)- dehydrooestrone derivative (5b). Treatment of (5b) with (2H6)diborane followed by oxidation afforded the (9,12,12-2H3)alcohol (8a); hydride reduction of the corresponding tosylate then gave 17,17-ethylenedioxy-3-methoxy(9,12,12-2H3)oestra-l,3,5(l0)-triene (7). Acid hydrolysis of (7), followed by demethylation, and reduction with sodium borohydride yielded (9,12,12-2H3)oestradiol (10). Sodium borohydride reduction of (11&12,12-2H3)oestrone (6),prepared in several steps from the 9β,12,12-trideutero ketone (3), gave (11 ξ,12,12-2H3)oestradiol (9). [The two trideuterated oestradiols (9) and (10) were required for biological studies.]

ABSTRACT A procedure for the quantitative determination of 5β-pregnan-3α-ol-20-one in urine is described. After acid hydrolysis of the pregnanolone-conjugates in urine, the free steroids are extracted with toluene. Pregnanolone is isolated in a pure form as its acetate; after chromatographic separation of the free steroids on alumina, the fraction containing pregnanolone is acetylated and rechromatographed on alumina. Quantitative determination of the isolated pregnanolone-acetate is carried out with the aid of the infrared spectrum recorded by a micro KBr-wafermethod. The reliability of the method under various conditions is discussed under the headings, specificity, accuracy, precision and sensitivity. It is possible to determine 30–40 μg pregnanolone in a 24-hours urine portion with a precision of 25%.
