The Novel 6–(N-Pyrrolyl)purine Acyclic Nucleosides: 1H and 13C NMR and X-ray Structural Study†

Abstract Synthesis of the novel nucleoside analogues containing exocyclic pyrrolo moiety and acyclic side chains attached to the purine ring at N-9 and N-7 is described. The site of alkylation was determined by 1H and 13C NMR on the basis of chemical shifts, C-H coupling constants and connectivity in NOESY and HETCOR spectra. The N-9 substitution of 7 was proved by its X-ray crystallographic analysis. † Part of the paper was presented at the Ninth International Course and Conference on the Interfaces Among Mathematics. Chemistry and Computer Sciences. Dubrovnik, Croatia (1994).

Synthesis, structural studies, and biological evaluation of some purine substituted 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acids and 1-amino-1-hydroxymethylcyclopropanes

Abstract The novel purine derivatives of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (8 and 9) and 1-amino-1-hydroxymethylcyclopropane (12 and 13) with methylene spacer between the base and the cyclopropane ring were prepared by multistep synthetic route involving alkylation of adenine and 6-(N-pyrrolyl)purine with 2-hydroxymethyl-1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid derivative 3 as a key reaction. All novel compounds were racemic. The N-9 substitution of the purine ring and the Z-configuration of the cyclopropane ring in 4–13 were deduced from their 1H and 13C NMR spectra by analyses of chemical shifts, H-H coupling constants and connectivities in two-dimensional homo- and heteronuclear correlation spectra. An unequivocal proof of the stereostructure of 1, 4 and 5 was obtained by their X-ray structure analysis. The novel compounds were evaluated on cytostatic and antiviral activities in several cell lines. The 6-(N-pyrrolyl)purine derivative of 1,2-aminocyclopropane alcohol 12 exhibited a more pronounced inhibitory activity against the proliferation of cervical carcinoma (HeLa) and human fibroblast (WI-38) cells than other types of tumor cell lines. None of the compounds showed inhibitory activities against cytomegalovirus, varicella-zoster virus or other viruses.

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of the 5-(2-Haloethyl)pyrimidines – Hydrogen-Bonded chains in α-(1-Carbamyliminomethylene)-γ-Butyrolactone

Three novel 5-(2-haloethyl)pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized and characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, MS, IR spectra and elemental analysis. Iodine and chlorine atoms in the C-5 side chain were introduced by reaction of 5-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrimidine with hydroiodic acid and phosphoryl chloride, respectively. The structure of the intermediate α-(1-carbamyliminomethylene)-γ-butyrolactone was determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis. The molecule deviates very slightly from planarity. Three N−H···O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into one-dimensional chains of edge-fused rings.
