6-chloro-3-β-d-erythrofuranosyl-l-phenyl- and -l-p-tolylpyrazolo-[3,4-b]quinoxaline

Studies on epimeric D-xylo-and D-lyxo-tetritol-1-yl-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazoles. Synthesis and anomeric configuration of 4-(alpha-and beta-D-threofuranosyl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole C-nucleoside analogs

Treatment of 4-(D-xylo-tetritol-1-yl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole (1) with one mole equivalent of tosyl chloride in pyridine solution, afforded the C-nucleoside analog; 4-(beta-D-threofuranosyl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole (2) in 55% yield, as well as the byproduct 4-(4-chloro-4-deoxy-D-xylo-tetritol-1-yl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazo le (4). Treatment of the epimeric 4-(D-lyxo-tetritol-1-yl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole (6) with tosyl chloride in pyridine solution afforded the anomeric C-nucleoside analog; 4-(alpha-D-threofuranosyl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazole (7) in 29% yield, as well as the byproduct 4-(4-chloro-4-deoxy-D-lyxo-tetritol-1-yl)-2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3- triazole (9). Similar treatment of 1 and 6 with trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride in pyridine solution afforded 2 and 7, respectively. The structure and anomeric configuration of these compounds were determined by acetylation, NMR, NOE, and circular dichroism spectroscopy, as well as mass spectrometry.

Synthesis and 1H NMR studies of 3-(D-erythro-glycerol-1-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxaline and its 7-chloro and 7-methyl analogues

3-(D-erythro-Glycerol-1-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxaline and its 7-chloro and 7-methyl analogues (11 and 12) were prepared from the corresponding quinoxalines. The 7-substituted analogues 11 and 12 were obtained as the preponderant isomers, and the 6-substituted analogues as the minor isomers. The structure and position of the substituent were determined by 1H NMR studies. The effect of substitution on the chemical shift of other protons is discussed.
