Abstract The synthesis of analogues of the anti-tumour drug 2-[N-(hydroxymethyl)methylamino]-4,6-bis (dimethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine (HMPMM) in which the OH or a dimethylamino group is replaced by a carbohydrate has been explored. Triazinyl β-glycosides were readily prepared by reaction of sugars with trimethyl-triazinylammonium salts. These were made with one or two methylamino groups on the triazine for reaction with formaldehyde to give the cytotoxic NMeCH2OH group. However, reaction of the triazinyl glycosides with formaldehyde gave complex intractable mixtures. When the carbohydrate portion was changed to the fully protected 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl glucose a good yield of the 2-[N-(hydroxymethyl)methylamino]-4-(dimethylamino)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl tetra-O-acetyl β-glucoside was obtained. However, de-acetylation using sodium methoxide also removed the N–CH2OH group. We are investigating protection of the base-sensitive N–CH2OH group as trialkylsilyl and benzyl ethers and are looking at de-acetylation methods that are more selective. We have prepared glycosides in which the sugar is joined through the oxygen of the NMeCH2OH group. Coupling of acetobromoglucose with HMPMM catalysed by silver salts was not successful. Although methyl and cyclohexyl derivatives of HMPMM may be produced in high yields by reaction of HMPMM with methyl and cyclohexyl alcohols under acidic catalysis, production of glycosides in this way gave poor yields. MNDO calculations on reactions of HMPMM helped us devise improved reaction conditions for the condensation of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl glucose with HMPMM and its derivatives. The best procedure to generate one of the target glycosides is to react 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl glucose and formaldehyde with 2-methylamino- 4,6-bis(dimethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine. The β-glycoside product was de-acetylated using potassium carbonate in dry methanol.
