Problems solved by technology

[0081] Even though McGee et al. reported that their method was scalable for industrial purposes, dioxane is known to be flammable and prone to peroxide formation, making it unsuitable for industrial use
Additionally, McGee et al. do not take into account whether their method generates the D- or L-enantiomer of 2'-deoxythymidine or requires separation of the enantiomers

preparation example Construction

[0174] In a first embodiment, 2'-deoxythymidine ( Figure 4 ). The synthesis method comprises: (a) first oxidizing D-xylose with aqueous bromine, then acetic acid and hydrobromic acid to form 2,5-dibromo-2,5-dideoxy-D-lyxenoic acid-1, 4-lactone (2); (b) reacting the lactone product of step (a) with potassium iodide in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) to give the corresponding 5-iodo compound, i.e. selective removal of the C-2 bromine atom , to obtain 5-iodo-2-deoxylactone (3); (c) treating 5-iodo-2-deoxylactone with potassium hydroxide aqueous solution to obtain 4,5-epoxidized derivatives (4); (d ) Treat 4,5-epoxidized derivatives with aqueous acid to generate corresponding 2-deoxy-L-ribonolactone (5) through C-4 stereospecific conversion; (e) by combining with any protecting group such as Reaction of toluoyl chloride in TEA protects the C-3 and C-5 positions (6); (f) Selective reduction of the protected 2-deoxy-L-ribonolactone with Red-Al reducing agent gives the corresponding in...

Embodiment 1

[0250] The L-arabinose is converted to the corresponding methyloside and the 3- and 4-hydroxyl groups are protected as acetonated derivatives. The following scheme shows a method for deoxidizing the 2-hydroxyl group of compound 2 by converting the hydroxyl group to the corresponding mesylate group and subjecting the mesylate intermediate to reductive cleavage conditions to give 2-deoxy intermediate 4. See H. Urata, E. Ogura, K. Shinohara, Y. Ueda and M. Akagi, Nucleic Acids Res. 1992, 20, 3325-3332; and J.W. Pratt, N.K. Richtmyer and C.S. Hudson, J.Am.Chem.Soc .1952, 74, 2200-2205.

Embodiment 2

[0254]The conversion of L-arabinose to the corresponding enose derivatives and the conversion of the resulting enose intermediates to methyl 2-deoxyribofuranosides is accomplished through key reductive elimination steps.

Abstract

An improved process for the preparation of 2'-modified nucleosides and 2'-deoxy-nucleosides, such as, beta-L-2'-deoxy-thymidine (LdT), is provided. In particular, the improved process is directed to the synthesis of a 2'-deoxynucleoside that may utilize different starting materials but that proceeds via a chloro-sugar intermediate or via a 2,2' anhydro-1-furanosyl-nucleobase intermediate. Where an 2,2'-anhydro-1-furanosyl base intermediate is utilized, a reducing agent, such as Red-Al, and a sequestering agent, such as 15-crown-5 ether, that cause an intramolecular displacement reaction and formation of the desired nucleoside product in good yields are employed. An alternative process of the present invention utilizes a 2,2'-anhydro-1-furanosyl base intermediate without a sequestering agent to afford 2'-deoxynucleosides in good yields. The compounds made according to the present invention may be used as intermediates in the preparation of other nucleoside analogues, or may be used directly as antiviral and / or antineoplastic agents.
