Novel 2′-Deoxy Pyrazine C-Nucleosides Synthesized VIA Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Couplings

The palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings of 2-chloro-3,5-diamino-6-iodopyrazine (1a) and methyl 3-amino-6-iodopyrazine-2-carboxylate (1b) with 1,4-anhydro-3,5-O-bis[(tert-butyl)dimethylsilyl]-2-deoxy-D-erythro-pent-1-enitol (2) followed by desilylation and stereospecific reduction of the 2′-deoxy-3′-...

Description
Summary:The palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings of 2-chloro-3,5-diamino-6-iodopyrazine (1a) and methyl 3-amino-6-iodopyrazine-2-carboxylate (1b) with 1,4-anhydro-3,5-O-bis[(tert-butyl)dimethylsilyl]-2-deoxy-D-erythro-pent-1-enitol (2) followed by desilylation and stereospecific reduction of the 2′-deoxy-3′-keto adduct leads to the formation of 2-chloro-6-(2-deoxy-ß-D-ribofuranosyl)-3,5-diaminopyrazine (4a) and methyl 3-amino-6-(2-deoxy-ß-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazine-2-carboxylate (4b) in 58% yield and 21% yield, respectively. These are the first syntheses of the heretofore unknown 2′-deoxy pyrazine C-nucleosides and demonstrate the utility of a convergent approach for the synthesis of pyrazine C-nucleosides.
