Abstract
As a part of our ongoing efforts to identify new anti-HIV agents, a 5'-thiopyrano-nucleoside derivative 4, designed based on 4'-thioD4C 1 and cyclohexenylnucleoside 3, was synthesized. The dihydrothiopyran skeleton of 4 was constructed by the ring closing metathesis of 21 which was synthesized from but-2-yne-1,4-diol. After converting the protecting group from MOM to TBS followed by oxidation, a Pummerer-type thioglycosylation reaction of 24 with persilylated uracil gave the desired 5-thiodihydrothiopyranyluracils 25 and 26 as a mixture of anomers. The conversion of 25 to a cytosine derivative and subsequent deprotection gave a 5-thiodidehydropyranosylcytosine derivative 4 in good yield. The anti-HIV activity of 4 was also evaluated.
