Abstract:
From a readily available 5-C-Me ribofuranoside, we have realized a reliable route to valuable 5'-deoxy-5'-amino-5'-C-methyl adenosine derivatives at gram scale with confirmed stereochemistry. These adenosine derivatives are useful starting materials for the preparation of 5'-deoxy-5'-amino-5'-C-methyl adenosine derivatives with higher complexity. From one of the new adenosine derivatives, some 5'-deoxy-5'-amino-5'-C-methyl adenosine DOT1L inhibitors were prepared in several steps. Data from DOT1L assay indicated that additional 5'-C-Me group improved the enzyme inhibitory activity.
