Abstract:
Reaction of 2',3'-O-isopropylidene inosine with benzyl bromide (1 h, rt) led to the 1,5'-O-dibenzylderivative 4, but by increasing the reaction time or the temperature, compound 4 is further transformed into the 1,7,5'-O-tribenzylinosine derivative 5. Similarly, the 7-methyl-1,5'-O-dibenzylderivative 6 has been synthesized from 4. The 1H-NMR spectra of 5 and 6 showed peculiar chemical shifts for geminal protons (H5' and H5'' of the ribose, and the CH2 of the benzyl groups). Preliminary NMR studies have been performed, including NOESY experiments that point toward the predominant existence of conformers that are stabilized by an electrostatic interaction between the positively charged imidazole of the base moiety and the high electron density of the 5'-benzyl substituent.

Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.

Conformations of Cyclohexane
The chair form is the most stable and derives its name from its resemblance to the “easy chair.” In the chair conformation, two carbon atoms are arranged out-of-plane — one above and one below, minimizing the torsional strain. In the chair form, the bond angle is very close to the ideal tetrahedral value,...
