Methyl 3,5-di-O-arylmethyl-alpha-D-ribofuranosides have been used extensively as synthons to construct 2'-C-branched ribonucleosides. Herein, we describe efficient access to methyl 3,5-di-O-arylmethyl-alpha-D-ribofuranosides (aryl: 2-ClC(6)H(4), 3-ClC(6)H(4), 4-ClC(6)H(4), 4-BrC(6)H(4), 2,4-Cl(2)C(6)H(3), Ph) in 72-82% yields from methyl D-ribofuranoside. We also demonstrate efficient access to the versatile precursor methyl 3,5-di-O-benzyl-alpha-D-ribofuranoside (3f) and the synthesis of 2'-C-beta-methoxymethyl- and 2'-C-beta-ethoxymethyluridine in six steps from 3f with overall yields of 18% and 32%, respectively.
3,5-二-O-芳基甲基-α-D-呋喃核糖苷已被广泛用作合成子来构建2'-C-支链核糖核苷。在此,我们描述了从D-呋喃核糖苷以72 - 82%的产率高效制备3,5-二-O-芳基甲基-α-D-呋喃核糖苷(芳基:2-氯苯基、3-氯苯基、4-氯苯基、4-溴苯基、2,4-二氯苯基、苯基)的方法。我们还展示了从3,5-二-O-苄基-α-D-呋喃核糖苷(3f)高效制备通用前体,并从3f经六步分别以18%和32%的总产率合成2'-C-β-甲氧基甲基尿苷和2'-C-β-乙氧基甲基尿苷的方法。
