Abstract
With an aim to synthesize 4'-substituted cordycepins, the 4'-phenylthio precursor 4 was prepared from adenosine through an electrophilic addition to the 3',4'-unsaturated derivative 2 by using NIS/PhSH system. Nucleophilic substitution of 4 with a series of alcohols in the presence of NBS gave the respective 4'-alpha-alkoxy cordycepins 6 as the major stereoisomer. Use of DAST, in stead of alcohol in this reaction, gave the 4'-fluoro analogue 7. The 4'-sulfone derivative 8 obtained by m-CPBA oxidation of 4 was employed for the reaction with organoaluminum reagents. These reactions furnished various types of the 4'-carbon-substituted cordycepins 9.
