Abstract
Conformationally constrained nucleosides can be readily generated by radical cyclization reactions. The radical cyclization of two guanosine derivatives containing a 2,2’-dibromovinyl group or a iodovinyl group tethered at the C8 position is described, respectively. The cyclization of the guanosine derivative with the 2,2’-dibromovinyl group initiated by tributyltin hydride formed an anomeric spiro nucleoside with an 8,1’-etheno bridge as the major cyclization product. In contrast, the conversion of guanosine and 2’-deoxyguanosine derivatives carrying the iodovinyl group provided 8,2’-ethano bridged nucleosides as the major products.INTRODUCTION
The scaffold and conformational preferences of a radical precursor often are decisive for the cyclization Electrochemical experiments: All electrochemical measurements were performed with a three electrodes/two compartments cell. Specpure Pt or glassy carbon (GC) disks (∅ = 5 mm) mounted in teflon supports, were used as working electrodes (WE). A platinum grid and a saturated calomel electrode (SCE) were the counter and reference electrodes, respectively. The WEs were polished to a mirror finishing with wet alumina powder (Buehler Alpha Micropolish II) down to 0.3 µm grade, rinsed with water and with distilled acetonitrile. Prior to each experiment, the electrolyte solutions were thoroughly de-oxygenated directly in the cell with nitrogen (purity > 99.9997%) The electrocatalytic essays were performed at room temperature. The electrochemical measurements were controlled by a potentiostat/galvanostat EG&G PAR model 273amechanism. In order to obtain conformationally restrained nucleosides, Kittaka et al. studied the anomeric radical generation of nucleosides by means of 1,5-radical translocation.1 The subsequent radical cyclization yields uridine spiro nucleosides that are locked in syn-conformation. The respective guanosine spiro nucleosides, not available so far, may serve as valuable tools for inducing a left-handed Z-DNA double helix as Z-DNA requires guanosine nucleotides in syn-conformation.2 Therefore, our interest in 8,1’-etheno bridged guanosine spiro nucleosides is derived from conformationally constrained Z-DNA based on nucleotides that are fixed in the syn-conformation. The nucleotides in syn-conformation are required in every other position of Z-DNA. Since they are less favored due to sterical strain, syn-nucleotides and the left-handed Z-DNA double strand tend to rearrange to the relaxed anti-conformation and the right-handed DNA double helices.2,3 The synthesis of two different guanosine and 2’-deoxyguanosine radical precursors with a 2,2’-dibromovinyl group 1 and a iodovinyl group 2a and 2b tethered at the C8 position is described (Figure 1). The subsequent radical cyclization turned out to be sensitive to the precursor: providing spiro cyclization at the anomeric center is provided as well as annelated six-membered ring formation.
The radical cyclization of the guanosine derivative with the 2,2’-dibromovinyl group formed an anomeric spiro nucleoside 3a with the 8,1’-etheno bridge as the major cyclized product. In contrast, under identical conditions the radical cyclization of the 2’-deoxyguanosine 2a and guanosine 2b with the iodovinyl group generated the 8,2’-ethano bridged nucleosides 4a/4a’ and 4b/4b’ as the major cyclization products.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Synthesis and subsequent radical cyclization of two guanosine radical precursors are described employing two different protecting group and radical precursor strategies. The potential of the two radical precursors 1 and 2a/2b regarding cyclization reaction differs with respect to the influence of the protecting groups on the ribosyl conformation. In addition, the C8-vinyl group contains one or two halogens leading to differences in the radical addition reactivity and the formation of the final product keeping the double bond or leading to an saturated cyclization product.
Nucleoside 9 was synthesized by means of a nucleosidation protocol (Scheme 1). The C8 substituted guanine derivative 5 was prepared using a method described by Pfleiderer et al. and later by Vasella et al.4,5 Preparation of the protected and C8 alkylated guanine was achieved in a four step synthesis starting from commercially available 6-chloro-2,2-diaminopyrimidine. Partial benzylation, nitrosation at position 5, acylation of the remaining free exocyclic amino group and subsequent PPh3 mediated ring closure yielded compound 5. A Silyl-Hilbert-Johnsen nucleosidation in the variant of Vorbrüggen was employed to connect the modified guanine 5 with fully acylated ribofuranose 6.6,7 As a result of the neighboring group effect only the β-isomer 7 was formed. The TBDMS group of compound 7 was removed using aqueous acetic acid; the acetyl groups proved to be not stable when employing the standard TBAF deprotection protocol. The oxidation of the resulting primary alcohol 8 under Dess-Martin conditions yielded compound 9.8,9
The guanosine derivative with the 2,2’-dibromovinyl group 1 was synthesized by means of Corey-Fuchs method.10 The following radical cyclization was provided with Bu3SnH and AIBN. Nevertheless, the best yields for the cyclization were obtained with triethylborane and tributyltin hydride in toluene. The reagents were added over five hours by using a syringe pump and the two anomers 3a and 3b were isolated in an α:β ratio of 1:2.25 (Scheme 2).
The radical cyclization reaction is initiated by bromine atom abstraction from the 2,2’-dibromovinyl group by a stannyl radical likely to be followed by formation of the stabilized anomeric radical by 1,5-radical translocation. The less favorable 5-endo-trig cyclization followed by β-bromine elimination are reasonable steps to yield the two diastereomeric spiro nucleosides 3a and 3b.
Synthesis of C8-iodovinyl-2’-deoxyguanosine and C8-iodovinyl-guanosine derivatives 2a and 2b started from the commercially available nucleotides 10a and 10b employing standard protocols for the first three steps.11,12,13 NBS bromination and subsequent protection of the exocyclic amino group with N,N’-dimethylformamide dimethylacetal gave compounds 11a and 11b in good yields. The completely protected guanosine derivatives 12a and 12b were obtained by TBDMS protection of the hydroxy groups. A modified Stille protocol was employed to generate the C8-vinyl substituted compounds 13a and 13b.14 The introduced vinyl groups were subsequently cleaved under Lemieux-Johnson conditions to yield aldehydes 14a and 14b (Scheme 3).15
The vinyliodide at C8 was introduced by Wittig reaction using (iodomethyl)-tri(m-toloyl)phosphonium iodide 15 as Wittig reagent rather than the standard triphenylphosphonium salt in order to avoid the laborious removal of triphenylphosphine oxide. The cyclization precursors 2a and 2b were obtained in a 1:1 E/Z ratio in the case of 2a and as pure Z compound in the case of 2b, respectively (Scheme 4).
Radical cyclization of vinyliodides 2a and 2b initiated by tributyltin hydride and AIBN in toluene provided two diastereomeric guanosine derivatives (Scheme 5). Separation of the mixture of diastereomers 4a and 4a’ or 4b and 4b’ by flash chromatography was not successful. For further characterization all protecting groups were removed from the ribo nucleoside 4b/4b’ enabling purification by RP-HPLC. Next to the two 8,2’-ethano bridged guanosine nucleosides provided in a 3:1 mixture of diastereomers two side products were identified as an anomeric 1.5:1 mixture of 8-vinyl guanosines. The ratio of the two 8-vinyl guanosine diastereomers was determined by comparing the respective 1H-NMR signals of the vinyl protons at 6.73 and 6.95 ppm. The isolated products allow concluding on the mechanism of radical transfer. It is quite likely that the anomeric radical is generated by vinyl halogen abstraction followed by 1,5-radical translocation as observed for the 2,2’-dibromovinyl guanosine precursor 1. In contrast to the anomeric radical generated from nucleotide 1, the respective radical generated from vinyl iodide 2 does not undergo a 5-endo-trig cyclization. It either is reduced by tributyltin hydride to the vinylguanosine side products or the 8,2’-ethano bridged guanosine derivatives 4 are generated involving a C1’-C2’ radical shift followed by 6-endo-trig radical cyclization as a favored process according to the Baldwin rules.16 The loss of stereogenic information at the anomeric center is a clear indication for an intermediate anomeric radical.
CONCLUSION
Radical cyclization was investigated with respect to ring formation between the anomeric center of guanosine and the C8 position of the nucleobase. Starting from vinyl bromides or vinyl iodides the vinyl radical was translocated to the anomeric center. The succeeding radical stabilization differed with respect to the nucleotide protection scheme and most likely to the respective nucleotide conformation. Whereas the guanosine derivative with 2,2’-dibromovinyl group tethered at the C8 position provided the anomeric spiro nucleoside with the 8,1’-etheno bridge as the major cyclized product, in case of the iodovinyl functionalized guanosine 6-endo-trig radical cyclization yielded the 8,2’-ethano bridged derivative as the major cyclization product.
