Favoured Formation of an O-Glycoside during Ribosidation of 5-Methyl-2-methylthio-7H-pyrrolo-[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one6-Amino-5-(2,2-diethoxy-l-methylethyl)-2-mercaptopyrimidin-4-ol (3a) has been prepared via condensation of racem. ethyl 2-cyano-4,4-diethoxy-3-methylbutyrate (2) and thiourea. Alkylation of 3 a at 2-SH with dimethyl sulfate is accompanied by ring closure yielding 5-methyl-2-methylthio-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (4b). Silylation of 4b followed by reaction with 2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-1-bromo-D-ribofuranose in the presence of mercury(II) salts (Wittenburg conditions) gives the O-glycoside 6a and not the N-7-glycoside formerly obtained during ribosidation of 2-methylthio-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one12). Hydrolysis of 6a under mild conditions leads to deacetylation giving 5-methyl-2-methylthio-4-(D-ribofuranosyloxy)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (6b). The latter compound shows UV spectra similar to 4-methoxy-5-methyl-2-methylthio-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (4c) down to pH 2, but at lower pH values hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond occurs.
Notes:
6-Amino-5-(2,2-diethoxy-1-methylethyl)-2-mercaptopyrimidin-4-of (3 a) wurde durch Kondensation von racem. 2-Cyan-4,4-diethoxy-3-methylbuttersäure-ethylester (2) und Thioharnstoff gewonnen. Die Alkylierung von 3a mit Dimethylsulfat führt zur Methylierung an 2-SH, wobei gleichzeitig Cyclisierung zu 5-Methyl-2-methylthio-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-on (4b) erfolgt. Verknüpft man silyliertes 4 b mit 2,3,5-Tri-O-acetyl-l-brom-D-ribofuranose in Gegenwart von Quecksilber(II)-Salzen (Wittenburg-Bedingungen), so entsteht das O-Glycosid 6a und nicht wie bei der Reaktion von 2-Methylthio-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-on das N-7-Glycosid12). Durch milde Hydrolyse von 6a erhält man 5-Methyl-2-methylthio-4-(D-ribofuranosyloxy)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin (6b), dessen UV-Spektren bis pH 2 denen von 4-Methoxy-5-methyl-2-methylthio-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin (4c) gleichen, im stärker Sauren jedoch Glycosid-Hydrolyse anzeigen.
