Seco C-nucleoside analogs of the 1,2,4-triazole

The seco C-nucleosides 3-(1,2,3,4,5-penta-O-acetyl-D-gluco- and D-galacto-pentitol-1-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazoles (6 and 7) were obtained in one pot by deamination and dethiolation of 4-amino-3-(D-gluco- and D-galacto-pentitol-1-yl)-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles (1 and 2), respectively, using sodium nitrite in orthophosphoric acid and subsequent acetylation. The structures were confirmed by using 1H, 13C and 2D NMR spectra, DQFCOSY, HMQC and HMBC experiments. The favored conformational structures were deduced from the vicinal coupling constants of the protons.
