Crystal structure of 8-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-2'-de-oxy-adenosine hemihydrate.

In the asymmetric unit, equalling the unit cell (triclinic, 1, = 1), two mol-ecules of the title compound, 8-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-d-2'-de-oxy-adenosine, CHNO, are present, with distinct conformations of the two sugar moieties, together with one solvent water mol-ecule. All three ribose O atoms are involved in hydrogen bonding and the crystal packing is largely determined by hydrogen-bonding or hydrogen-heteroatom inter-actions (O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N, N-H⋯O, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N) with one independent mol-ecule directly linked to four neighbouring mol-ecules and the other mol-ecule directly linked to six neighbouring mol-ecules. The two independent mol-ecules of the asymmetric unit display three weak intra-molecular C-H-to-heteroatom contacts, two of which are very similar despite the different conformations of the deoxyribosyl moieties.

C-C Bond Formation: Synthesis of C5 Substituted Pyrimidine and C8 Substituted Purine Nucleosides Using Water Soluble Pd-imidate Complex.

The synthesis of a highly efficient, water soluble [Pd(Sacc)2 (TPA)2 ] complex for C-C bond formation is described. Additionally, application of the [Pd(Sacc)2 (TPA)2 ] complex for Suzuki-Miyaura arylation of all four nucleosides (5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine [5-IdU], 5-iodo-2'-deoxycytidine [5-IdC], 8-bromo-2'-deoxyadenosine, and 8-bromo-2'-deoxyguanosine) with various aryl/heteroaryl boronic acids in plain water under milder conditions is demonstrated. © 2016 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
