The first synthesis of 4'-selenothymidine (1), a novel DNA building block, and 4'-seleno-AZT (2) was accomplished from 2-deoxy-d-ribose via stereoselective formation of 2-deoxy-4-seleno-d-furanose 17 and a Pummerer-type base condensation as key steps. 4'-Selenothymidine (1) was discovered to adopt the same 2'-endo/3'-exo conformation as thymidine, which is unusual in that 4'-selenouridine has the opposite conformation to that of uridine.
4'-硒代胸苷(1),一种新型的 DNA 构建模块,以及 4'-硒代 AZT(2)的首次合成是从 2-脱氧-D-核糖出发,通过立体选择性形成 2-脱氧-4-硒代-D-呋喃糖 17 和 Pummerer 型碱基缩合作为关键步骤完成的。发现 4'-硒代胸苷(1)采用与胸苷相同的 2'-内/3'-外构象,这是不寻常的,因为 4'-硒代尿苷的构象与尿苷相反。
