The 2 '-deoxy-2 '-fluoro-2 '-C-methyluridine nucleotide prodrug, PSI-7851 and its single diastereomer PSI-7977 have displayed potent antiviral activity against hepatitis C virus in clinical trials, and PSI-7977 is currently in Phase III studies. As part of our SAR study of the 2 '-deoxy-2 '-fluoro-2 '- C-methyl class of nucleosides, we prepared the cyclopentyl carbocyclic uridine analog 11 and its phosphoramidate prodrug 15. Both 11 and 15 were shown not to inhibit HCV replication. This lack of activity might be attributed to the inability of the monophosphate to be converted to the corresponding diphosphate or triphosphate or the inactivity of triphosphate of 11 as an inhibitor of the polymerase.

The angular triquinane carbocyclic ring system is a component of many natural products found in numerous terrestrial and marine plants. A strategy for the synthesis of functionalized angular triquinanes utilizing two trimethylenemethane (TMM)-based [3+2] cycloaddition reactions is presented. This synthetic strategy employs the intermolecular dyil-trapping reaction to give eventual access to the bicyclo[3.

ConspectusNickel-catalyzed reactions of alkyl alcohol derivatives leverage the high prevalence of hydroxyl groups in natural products, medicinal agents, and synthetic intermediates to provide access to C(sp)-rich frameworks. This Account describes our laboratory's development of stereospecific and stereoconvergent C-C bond forming reactions employing C(sp)-O and C(sp)-N electrophiles. In the context of development of new transformations, we also define fundamental characteristics of the nickel catalysts.

The nucleotidase ISN1 is a potential therapeutic target of the purine salvage pathway of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. We identified PfISN1 ligands by in silico screening of a small library of nucleos(t)ide analogues and by thermal shift assays. Starting from a racemic cyclopentyl carbocyclic phosphonate scaffold, we explored the diversity on the nucleobase moiety and also proposed a convenient synthetic pathway to access the pure enantiomers of our initial hit (compound (±)-2).

A broad range of acyclic primary and secondary 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzoate (TIB) esters have been used in lithiation-borylation reactions, but cyclic TIB esters have not. We have studied the use of cyclic TIB esters in lithiation-borylation reactions and looked at the effect of ring size (3- → 6-membered rings) on the three key steps of the lithiation-borylation protocol: deprotonation, borylation and 1,2-metalate rearrangement. Although all rings sizes could be deprotonated, the cyclohexyl case was impractically slow, and the cyclopentyl example underwent α-elimination faster than deprotonation at -78 °C and so could not be used.

The use of the unprecedented annulating reagents methyl -(-butylsulfinyl)-4-chlorobutanimidate and methyl -(-butylsulfinyl)-5-bromopentanimidate enables the diastereoselective preparation of 5- and 6-membered carbocycles bearing three contiguous stereocenters. These synthons undergo cycloaddition with a variety of Michael acceptors to form cyclopentane/cyclohexane rings with excellent stereochemical control, generating only one of the eight possible diastereomers. This novel methodology has enabled the highly enantioselective and high yielding synthesis of novel chemotypes of pharmacological relevance.
