Synthesis of various substituted 5-methyluridines (xm5U) and 2-thiouridines (xm5s2U) via nucleophilic substitution of 5-pivaloyloxymethyluridine/2-thiouridine

5-Pivaloyloxymethyluridine and its 2-thio analogue have been utilized as convenient substrates for the synthesis of various 5-methyluridines (xm5U) and 5-methyl-2-thiouridines (xm5s2U). The pivaloyloxy group (OPiv) located at the pseudobenzylic position was effectively substituted with a series of nucleophiles: ammonia, primary and secondary amines including secondary cyclic amines, tetrabutylammonium salts of amino acids, an alkoxide and a thiolate.

Chemistry and structure of modified uridines in the anticodon, wobble position of transfer RNA are determined by thiolation

Uridines found in the first or wobble position of transfer RNA anticodons are most often modified at base ring carbon-5 and many times also thiolated at carbon-2. It is important to understand the chemistry and structure of the modified uridines because t

Nucleoside Syntheses, XXI. Synthesis of 5-Methylaminomethyl-2-thiouridine, a Rare Nucleoside from t-RNA

The synthesis of 5-methylaminomethyl-2-thiouridine (1), a rare nucleoside from t-RNA, starting from the appropriate 2-thiouracil and ribose derivatives is described.During the silyl Hilbert-Johnson nucleoside synthesis with silver perchlorate the tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) aminoprotecting group in the 2-thiouracil moiety is removed.This cleavage is due to the intermediate formation of trimethylsilyl perchlorate.Preparative applications of this new type of Lewis acids are mentioned.
