Regioselective and stereospecific cleavage of a terminal oxirane system: a novel synthetic approach to lipid mediator congeners--1,2(2,3)-diacyl-3(1)-halo-sn-glycerols.

Glycidyl esters upon treatment with a mixture of carboxylic acid anhydride (CAA) and trimethylsilyl halide (TMSX) in the presence of tetra-n-butylammonium halide (Bu(4)NX, X=Cl, Br or I) undergo stereospecific and regioselective opening of the oxirane ring to afford mixed-(or mono)-acid 1,2(2,3)-diacyl-3(1)-halo-sn-glycerols in high yields.

The influences of a nitrogen atom position in dinucleoside 2-,3-,4-pyridylphosphonates on fragmentation patterns in electrospray ionization multistage tandem mass spectra.

2-,3-,4-Pyridylphosphonates and their phosphonothioate congeners were analyzed by electrospray ionization multistage tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS(n)). It was found that the fragmentation pathways of these compounds were not influenced to any detectable extent by the stereochemistry at the phosphorus centers but were sensitive to the position of a nitrogen atom in the pyridine ring of these compounds. Possible mechanisms for fragmentations of the investigated compounds are discussed in detail.

A proposal for a convenient notation for P-chiral nucleotide analogues. Part 2. Dinucleoside monophosphate analogues.

A configuration of ligands around a phosphorus atom in P-chiral dinucleoside monophosphate analogues can be described using DP/LP stereochemical notation, which allows immediate correlation between the notation of configuration and the actual spatial arrangement of the phosphorus ligands. The area of applications of this new stereochemical nomenclature covers dinucleoside units bridged by virtually any type of tri-and tetra-coordinated phosphorus moieties, that is, phosphorothioates, phosphoramidates, phosphoramidites, boranephosphates, methanephosphonates, H-phosphonates, and many others.

A proposal for a convenient notation for P-chiral nucleotide analogues. Part 3. Compounds with one nucleoside residue and nonnucleosidic derivatives.

Recently, we have proposed a new DP/LP stereochemical notation for P-chiral dinucleoside monophosphate analogues that permits simple correlation between spatial arrangement of the substituents and the configuration at the phosphorus center. As an extension of this work, we present here applications of the DP/LP notation to derivatives containing only one nucleoside unit (e.g., alkyl nucleoside phosphodiesters, nucleoside phosphomonoesters, cyclic phosphate derivatives, nucleoside di-, and triphosphates) and to nonnucleosidic phosphorus compounds.

A proposal for a new stereochemical notation for P-chiral nucleotide analogues and related compounds.

A new stereochemical notation for P-chiral nucleotide analogues and related compounds is proposed In this notation, the names of configurations, designated as D(P) and L(P), are derived from a geometrical relationship, rather than from priority rules, of substituents at the phosphorus centre. This new stereochemical description offers clear advantages over the CIP R/S nomenclature, particularly when used for comparing the influence of absolute configuration at the phosphorus centre on physicochemical and biological properties of oligonucleotide analogues or in stereochemical correlation analysis of P-chiral nucleotide derivatives.

Stereochemistry of internucleotide bond formation by the H-phosphonate method. 1. Synthesis and 31P NMR analysis of 16 diribonulceoside (3'-5')-H-phosphonates and the corresponding phosphorothioates.

Sixteen diribonucleoside (3'-5')-H-phosphonates were synthesized via condensation of the protected ribonucleoside 3'-H-phosphonates with nucleosides, and the influence of a nucleoside sequence on the observed stereoselectivity was analyzed. 31P NMR spectroscopy was used to evaluate a relationship between chemical shift and absolute configuration at the phosphorous center of the H-phosphonate diesters as well as of the corresponding phosphorothioate diesters. Although for the most cases such correlation was found, there was however several exceptions to the rule where the relative positions of resonances arisingfrom Rp and Sp diastereomers were reversed.

Preparation of nucleoside H-phosphonoselenoate monoesters via the phosphinate approach.

An efficient entry to nucleoside 3'-H-phosphonoselenoate monoesters via phosphinate intermediates was developed. It involves a reaction of suitably protected nucleosides with triethylammonium phosphinate in the presence of pivaloyl chloride, followed by selenization of the intermediate nucleoside phosphinates with triphenylphosphine selenide, to produce the corresponding nucleoside H-phosphonoselenoates in 86-92% yields.

Di- and oligonucleotide synthesis using H-phosphonate chemistry.

In this chapter, a concise account of the synthesis of oligonucleotides using the H-phosphonate methodology is given. It includes various methods for the preparation of the starting material, nucleoside 3'-H-phosphonate monoesters, their conversion into dinucleoside H-phosphonate diesters, oxidative transformations of dinucleoside H-phosphonates into the corresponding phosphate and phosphorothioate derivatives, and protocols for the synthesis of oligonucleotides and their phosphorothio analogs.

How to get the most out of two phosphorus chemistries. Studies on H-phosphonates.

The biological importance and practical significance of phosphate esters and their analogues have been the major driving forces for research in various areas of synthetic organic phosphorus chemistry. In this Account, the authors' studies on the development of a comprehensive H-phosphonate methodology and the underlying chemistry for the preparation of biologically important phosphate esters and their analogues are briefly discussed.

Nucleoside H-Phosphonates. 17. Synthetic and (31)P NMR Studies on the Preparation of Dinucleoside H-Phosphonothioates.

Formation of H-phosphonothioate diesters via condensation of H-phosphonate monoesters with a hydroxylic component in the presence of various coupling agents and possible side reactions that may accompany this process were studied using (31)P NMR spectroscopy. Optimal reaction conditions, which eliminate or significantly suppress the side reactions, have been designed and assessed in syntheses of dinucleoside H-phosphonothioate diesters.
