Synthesis of C-nucleoside analogues by 1,3-dipolar addition of a 1-diazo-sugar to acetylenes
Abstract
The 1-diazo-sugar (VII), prepared by base treatment of 2,5-anhydro-1-deoxy-3,4-O-isopropylidene-1-nitrosoureido-DL-ribitol (VI), underwent 1,3-dipolar addition with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate in nearly quantitative yield, forming dimethyl 3-(2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-DL-erythrofuranosyl)pyrazole-4,5-dicarboxylate (VIII) and providing a pathway to C-nucleosides.
