Abstract
Based on the promising biological activity of 6'-fluorocyclopentenyl-cytosine and -adenine, we report the design and synthesis of 6'-trifluoromethylcyclopentenyl-pyrimidine and -purine as potential antiviral agents. The introduction of a trifluoromethyl (CF3) group onto a sugar scaffold has been achieved using methyl fluorosulfonyldifluoroacetate (Chen's reagent) as a key step. The resulting trifluoromethylated sugar intermediate provides an efficient pathway for synthesizing various nucleoside analogues, facilitating the expansion of structure-activity relationship studies for neplanocin A analogues.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
