Synthesis of Acyclo C-Nucleosides OF Phenanthro[9,10-e][1,2,4]Triazino[3,4-c]-[1,2,4] Triazoles, and Their Precursors

ABSTRACT

Reaction of 3-hydrazinophenanthro[9,10-e][1,2,4]triazine (1) with aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes as well as monosaccharides gave the corresponding hydrazones 2a-g. The D-glucose analogue exists in the cyclic pyranosyl structure 5. Acetylation and partial acetylation of the sugar hydrazones were carried out. Cyclization of a number of hydrazones including the partially acetylated sugar hydrazones by thionyl chloride gave regioselectively the respective angular isomer 1-substituted phenanthro[9,10-e][1,2,4]triazino[3,4-c][1,2,4]triazoles 16i-I, and not the linear isomer. The cyclization of 1 with acetic acid, however, gave regioselectively the linear isomer 19. The structural assignments were based on a model study whereby the angular 16a was found to be different from the linear isomer 19a obtained by the condensation of 4,5-diamino-3-methyl-1,2,4-triazole with 9,10-phenanthraquinone. Periodate oxidation of 2d gave 20 whose reaction with 1 gave 21.
