Reaction of fluoromethyloxirane (III) with heterocyclic bases in the presence of potassium carbonate afforded N-(3-fluoro-2-hydroxypropyl) derivatives of adenine (VI), 3-deazaadenine (VII), 2-amino-6-chloropurine (XII), 6-nitro-1-deazapurine (IX), 4-methoxy-2-pyrimidone (XVIII) and its 5-methyl derivative (XIX). Acid hydrolysis of compounds XII, XVIII, and XIX gave 9-(3-fluoro-2-hydroxypropyl)guanine (XIII), 1-(3-fluoro-2-hydroxypropyl)uracil (XX) and -thymine (XXI). The intermediates XVIII and XIX were ammonolyzed to give 1-(3-fluoro-2-hydroxypropyl)cytosine (XXII) and -5-methylcytosine (XXIII). Reaction of chloro derivative XII with sodium azide followed by hydrogenation of the formed 2-amino-6-azidopurine (XIV) led to 9-(3-fluoro-2-hydroxypropyl)-2,6-diaminopurine (XV). 9-(3-Fluoro-2-hydroxypropyl)-1-deazaadenine (X) was obtained by hydrogenation of compound IX. Benzyloxymethyloxirane (XXIV) was reacted with pyridine-hydrogen fluoride adduct to give 3-benzyloxy-2-fluoropropanol (XXV) whose tosylate XXVI on reaction with sodium salt of adenine and subsequent hydrogenolysis of the intermediate XXVII afforded 9-(2-fluoro-3-hydroxypropyl)adenine (XXVIII). The same compound was obtained by reaction of 3-benzyloxy-1-bromo-2-fluoropropanol (XXX) with sodium salt of adenine followed by methanolysis. Condensation of sodium salt of XI, XVI, and XVII with synthon XXX and subsequent acid deblocking gave 9-(2-fluoro-3-hydroxypropyl)guanine (XXXIII), 1-(2-fluoro-3-hydroxypropyl)uracil (XXXVI), and 1-(2-fluoro-3-hydroxypropyl)thymine (XXXVII). 1-(2-Fluoro-3-hydroxypropyl) derivatives of cytosine (XXXVIII) and 5-methylcytosine (XXXIX) were obtained by ammonolysis of the corresponding 4-methoxypyrimidine intermediates XXXIV and XXXV.

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).

7-(S)-(2,3-Dihydroxypropyl)theophylline ((S)-I) and its enantiomer (R)-I were prepared by heating of the sodium salt of theophylline with 1-O-toluenesulfonyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-glycerol or its L-enantiomer and subsequent acid hydrolysis. The two enantiomers I do not differ either by the inhibition of 3',5'-cAMP-phosphodiesterase, vasodilatatory activity on isolated guinea-pig aorta, or the effect on blood circulation of dogs in vivo.

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.

The preparation of N-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl) derivatives of purine and pyrimidine bases, IV, as analogs of the antiviral 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine (PMEA, I), is described. The synthesis consists in alkylation of alkali metal salts of heterocyclic bases or their N- or O-substituted derivatives with diethyl 2-p-toluenesulfonyloxyethoxymethylphosphonate (IIa), 2-chloroethoxymethylphosphonate (IIb) or 2-bromoethoxymethylphosphonate (IIc). The obtained N-(2-diethoxyphosphonylmethoxyethyl) derivatives of heterocyclic bases (III) were treated with bromotrimethylsilane to give phosphonic acids IV. Compounds IV were prepared from pyrimidines (uracil, cytosine and their 5-methyl derivatives), purines (adenine and its N6- and C(2)-substituted derivatives, hypoxanthine, guanine, 6-hydrazinopurine and 6-methylthiopurine etc.) and their analogs (3-deazaadenine etc.).

Alkaline hydrolysis of diethyl 1-(tetrahydro-2-furyl)-3-(1-naphthyl)propane-2,2-dicarboxylate (IV) gave the crude acid V which was purified via the dipotassium salt and was obtained as the homogeneous higher melting crystal form. Its thermic decarboxylation yielded the acid II as a mixture of two racemates (38 : 62); crystallization led to the almost homogeneous racemate B (10 : 90). Reaction of the sodium salt of II with dimethyl sulfate in methanol gave the methyl ester III which afforded by ester exchange with 2-diethylaminoethanol the ester I (mixture of two racemates 34 : 66). 2-Diethylaminoethyl 1,3-bis(1-naphthyl)propane-2-carboxylate (VII) was synthesized in three steps from diethyl (1-naphthylmethyl)malonate. Ester X was obtained from 1,3-bis(tetrahydro-2-furyl)propane-2-carboxylic acid by treatment with 2-diethylaminoethyl chloride in boiling 2-propanol in the presence of potassium carbonate. The acid V gave similarly the diester VI. 2-Diethylaminoethyl esters I, VI, VII, and X were transformed to the hydrogen oxalates. Pharmacological screening showed for the diester VI hypotensive, spasmolytic, antiarrhythmic, and antitussic activity.

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.

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.
