Heck and Sonogashira couplings in aqueous media – application to unprotected nucleosides and nucleotides

Heck and Sonogashira couplings in aqueous media – application to unprotected nucleosides and nucleotides
Amongst all synthetic nucleosides having high potential biological activities, C5-modified pyrimidines and C7-deaza or C8-modified purines have been particularly studied. These main chemical modifications have been developed using palladium cross-coupling reactions. This review focus on both Heck and Sonogashira cross-coupling of nucleosides using different aspects of the twelve principles of green chemistry: use of aqueous medium and no protection/deprotection steps.
Heck cross-coupling reaction in aqueous solution was developed using only Pd(II) as a pre-catalyst in water and in CH3CN/H2O.
The first Heck cross-coupling reaction starting from deprotected nucleoside was reported in 1998 by Barbas et al. [16]. Starting from 5-iodo-2’-deoxyuridine (1) and allyl amide 2 in presence of Na2PdCl4 (80 mol%) as palladium source in sodium acetate buffer (0.1 M, pH = 5.2) as solvent at room temperature for 18 hours, (E)-[3-(trifluoroacetamido)propenyl]-2’-deoxyuridine (3) was isolated in 44% yield (Scheme 1). Compound 3 is a precursor of functionalized dUTP derivatives that are substrates for thermostable DNA polymerases. Nucleoside analogue 3 was obtained a few years later in the same range of yields by Williams et al. using the same experimental conditions[17].

Pd/C as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for carbonylative four-component synthesis of 4(3H)-quinazolinones

A relatively mild, operationally simple, phosphine-free and recyclable catalytic system for the carbonylative synthesis of 4(3H)-quinazolinones with 2-iodoanilines, trimethyl orthoformate, and amines as the substrates has been developed.



Quinazolinones are of interest in the fields of pharmaceuticals and medicinal chemistry. 
The application of palladium on activated charcoal (Pd/C) as a heterogeneous catalyst was 
investigated for the carbonylation of 2-iodoanilines with trimethyl orthoformate and amines 
via a multicomponent reaction approach, which provided excellent yields of 4(3H)-quinazolinones. 
It avoids the use of expensive phosphine ligands with an additional advantage of catalyst recovery. 
Furthermore, >5 new quinazolinone scaffolds containing the trifluoroethyl group were introduced
 by this procedure; gram scale experiments were successfully performed as well.

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Quinazolinone: A 12 mL vial was charged with 10% Pd/C (1 mol%; 10 mg), 2-iodoaniline (1 mmol) and a stirring bar. Then, aniline (1.1 mmol), trimethyl orthoformate (2 mmol), DiPEA (3 mmol), and toluene (3 mL) were injected by syringe under argon. The vial (or several vials) was placed in an alloy plate, which was transferred into a 300 mL autoclave of the 4560 series from Parr Instruments® under argon atmosphere. After flushing the autoclave three times with CO, a pressure of 10 bar CO was adjusted at ambient temperature. Then, the reaction was performed for 20 h at 110 oC. After the reaction finished, the autoclave was cooled down to room temperature and the pressure was released carefully. The solution was filtered through whatmann filter paper and washed the reaction mixture with acetone (2-3 ml). After evaporation of the organic solvent the residue was adsorbed on silica gel and the crude product was purified by column chromatography using n-heptane/ethyl acetate (70:30) as eluent. 


Procedure for Catalyst Recycling The catalyst obtained after filtration was thoroughly washed with distilled water (3-5 mL) and then with methanol, acetone and ethyl acetate (3-5 mL) to remove any traces of organic material if present. The resulting catalyst was dried in an oven at 80 °C for 6 h and was then used for the next cycle.
