Abstract

Following our previous results on an environmentally benign one-pot Sonogashira-cyclization protocol to obtain substituted furopyrimidine nucleosides under aqueous conditions, we investigate herein the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl and heteroaryl derivatives at the C5 position of unprotected 2'-deoxyuridine in the same media with a common catalyst system avoiding exotic ligands, since palladium acetate and triphenylphosphine afforded the expected products in moderate to good yields.

Highlights

  • Nucleosides attract attention due to the central role they play in all living systems

  • To the best of our knowledge, only two examples in the 5-iodouridine [41,42] and one in the 2'-deoxyuridine [43] series are reported in the literature where the experimental conditions required either tris(3-sulfonatophenyl)phosphine trisodium salt (TPPTS) as a specific ligand or palladium supported on reverse phase glass beads

  • Based on our interest in environmentally sound processes [44,45], we investigated the development of a Suzuki-Miyaura reaction with 2'-deoxyuridines in a completely aqueous medium using a readily available and inexpensive catalyst/ligand system

Summary

Introduction

Nucleosides attract attention due to the central role they play in all living systems. To the best of our knowledge, only two examples in the 5-iodouridine [41,42] and one in the 2'-deoxyuridine [43] series are reported in the literature where the experimental conditions required either tris(3-sulfonatophenyl)phosphine trisodium salt (TPPTS) as a specific ligand or palladium supported on reverse phase glass beads. This induced us to disclose a similar straightforward method as a natural extension of the current available methods. Based on our interest in environmentally sound processes [44,45], we investigated the development of a Suzuki-Miyaura reaction with 2'-deoxyuridines in a completely aqueous medium using a readily available and inexpensive catalyst/ligand system
