Chemical and chemoenzymatic routes to bridged homoarabinofuranosylpyrimidines: Bicyclic AZT analogues.

ABSTRACT: Conformationally restricted diastereomeric homoarabinofuranosylpyrimidines (AZT analogue), i.e., (5'R)-3'-azido-3'-deoxy-2'-O,5'-C-bridged-β-ᴅ-homoarabinofuranosylthymine and -uracil had been synthesized starting from diacetone ᴅ-glucofuranose following chemoenzymatic and chemical routes in 34-35% and 24-25% overall yields, respectively. The quantitative and diastereoselective acetylation of primary hydroxy over two secondary hydroxy groups present in the key nucleoside precursor was mediated with Lipozyme^® TL IM in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran following a chemoenzymatic pathway. Whereas, the protection of the primary hydroxy over the lone secondary hydroxy group in the key azido sugar precursor was achieved using bulky tert-butyldiphenylsilyl chloride (TBDPS-Cl) in pyridine in 92% yield following a chemical synthetic pathway. The chemoenzymatic method was found to be superior over the chemical method in respect of the number of synthetic steps and overall yield of the final product.

Project description:The norbornadiene (NBD) molecule, C7H8, owes its fame to its remarkable photoswitching properties that are promising for molecular solar-thermal energy storage systems. Besides this photochemical interest, NBD is a rather unreactive species within astrophysical conditions and it should exhibit high photostability, properties that might also position this molecule as an important constituent of the interstellar medium (ISM)-especially in environments that are well shielded from short-wavelength radiation, such as dense molecular clouds. It is thus conceivable that, once formed, NBD can survive in dense molecular clouds and act as a carbon sink. Following the recent interstellar detections of large hydrocarbons, including several cyano-containing ones, in the dense molecular cloud TMC-1, it is thus logical to consider searching for NBD-which presents a shallow but non-zero permanent electric dipole moment (0.06 D)-as well as for its mono- and dicyano-substituted compounds, referred to as CN-NBD and DCN-NBD, respectively. The pure rotational spectra of NBD, CN-NBD, and DCN-NBD have been measured at 300 K in the 75-110 GHz range using a chirped-pulse Fourier-transform millimetre-wave spectrometer. Of the three species, only NBD was previously studied at high resolution in the microwave domain. From the present measurements, the derived spectroscopic constants enable prediction of the spectra of all three species at various rotational temperatures (up to 300 K) in the spectral range mapped at high resolution by current radio observatories. Unsuccessful searches for these molecules were conducted toward TMC-1 using the QUIJOTE survey, carried out at the Yebes telescope, allowing derivation of the upper limits to the column densities of 1.6 × 1014 cm-2, 4.9 × 1010 cm-2, and 2.9 × 1010 cm-2 for NBD, CN-NBD, and DCN-NBD, respectively. Using CN-NBD and cyano-indene as proxies for the corresponding bare hydrocarbons, this indicates that-if present in TMC-1-NBD would be at least four times less abundant than indene.
