Efficient One-Step Synthesis of Optically Pure (Adenin-8-yl)phenylalanine Nucleosides

Abstract

An efficient single-step synthesis of optically pure (adenin-8-yl)phenylalanine nucleosides, a new type of purine amino acid conjugate, by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of unprotected 8-bromoadenosines with 4-(borono)phenylalanine was developed.

cross-coupling - purines - nucleosides - palladium - ­amino acids

Typical Procedure - Preparation of Compound 13.
A H₂O-MeCN mixture (1.5:1, 3 mL) was added through septum to an argon purged vial containing adenosine 11 (69 mg, 0.2 mmol), boronic acid 10 (52 mg, 0.26 mmol), Pd(OAc)₂ (2.3 mg, 0.01 mmol), P(m-C₆H₄SO₃Na)₃ (14.2 mg, 0.025 mmol), Na₂CO₃ (42 mg, 0.4 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 90 °C on oil bath for 2 h. The pH of the reaction mixture was adjusted to 7 by HCl (2%) and solvents were evaporated in vacuo. The solid was dissolved in hot H₂O-DMSO mixture (1:1, 6 mL), and the product was isolated by HPLC on C18 column with 0.3% aq AcOH-MeOH gradient to give 66 mg (71%) of 13 as white solid after lyophilization from H₂O.
