RESUMO

A facile synthesis of 7-amino-5-chloro-3-beta-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo [4,3-d]pyrimidine (5-chloroformycin A, 6), 7-amino-5-chloro-3-(2-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl) pyrazolo [4,3-d]-pyrimidine (5-chloro-2'-deoxyformycin A, 13) and certain related 5,7-disubstituted pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine ribonucleosides is described starting with formycin A. Thiation of tri-O-acetyloxoformycin B (4b) with phosphorus pentasulfide, followed 3-beta-D-ribofuranosyl-7-thioxopyrazolo[4,3-d] pyrimidin-5(1H,4H,6H)-one (3b) in excellent yield. Chlorination of 4b with either phosphorus oxychloride or phenyl phosphonicdichloride furnished the key intermediate 5,7-dichloro-3-(2,3, 5-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine (5a), which on deacetylation afforded 5,7-dichloro-3-beta-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo [4,3-d]pyrimidine (5b). Ammonolysis of 5a with liquid ammonia gave 6, whereas with MeOH/NH3, a mixture of 6 and 7-methoxy-5-chloro-3-beta-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine (7) was obtained. Reaction of 6 with lithium azide and subsequent hydrogenation afforded 5-aminoformycin A (10). Treatment of 5a with thiourea gave 5-chloro-3-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-ribofuranosyl) pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine-7(1H,6H)-thione (8a), which on further reaction with sodium hydrosulfide furnished 3-beta-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo [4,3-d]pyrimidine-5,7(1H,4H,6H)-dithione (11). The four-step deoxygenation procedure using phenoxythiocarbonylation of the 2'-hydroxy group of the 3', 5'-protected 6 gave 5-chloro-2'-deoxyformycin A (13).
