General description

N4-Benzoylcytosine is an amide and its anti-microbial activity against pathogenic microorganisms has been studied using the Disk Diffusion and the Pour Plate method. It can be synthesized via the condensation of benzoyl chloride with cytosine.

Application

N4-Benzoylcytosine may be employed for the following syntheses:
  • 3′-C-ethynyl and 3′-C-(1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazolo) double-headed pyranonucleosides
  • 2′-C-methyl-4′-thiocytidine, via the Pummerer reaction
  • 2′-fluorinated L-nucleoside analogs

A novel series of 3'-C-ethynyl and 3'-C-(1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazolo) double-headed pyranonucleosides has been designed and synthesized. Reaction of 3-keto glucoside 1 with ethynyl magnesium bromide gave the desired precursor 3-C-ethynyl-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-allofuranose (2). Hydrolysis followed by acetylation led to the 1,2,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-3-C-ethynyl-β-D-allopyranose (3). Compound 3

The synthesis of 2'-C-methyl-4'-thiocytidine (16) is described. Since the 2'-keto-4'-thiocytidine derivative 2beta unexpectedly isomerized to 2alpha and the methylation of 2beta proceeded predominantly from the less hindered alpha-face to give 7, the desired product 16 was synthesized via the Pummerer

The synthesis of L-nucleoside analogues containing 2'-vinylic fluoride was accomplished by direct condensation method, and their anti-HIV and anti-HBV activities were evaluated in vitro. The key intermediate 8, the sugar moiety of our target compounds, was prepared from 1,2-O-isopropylidene-L-glyceraldehyde via
