///////Heck, Sonogashira, Green chemistry, Water
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].
Scheme 2
Synthesis of ferrocene analogue 65 and 66.
Scheme 3
Synthesis of phenylalanine analogues 67 and 68.
