A homogeneous catalyst system for the asymmetric cis-hydrogenation of 2,5-disubstituted furans leading to 2′,3′-dideoxynucleoside analogues is described. Best enantioselectivities (ee values of up to 72%) were obtained with cationic rhodium complexes ligated by diphospholanes of the butiphane family. The selectivity of the hydrogenation was reversed by the addition of a base or a polar protic solvent in certain cases. Ferrocene- and proline-based systems gave significant, but lower, ee values.

[reaction: see text] A new method for the synthesis of 2',3'-dideoxynucleoside analogues has been developed. An electrochemical activation of 2-substituted furans is followed by the coupling with a pyrimidine or purine base. This gives planar furyl nucleosides as key intermediates, which are hydrogenated cis-selectively to give the corresponding beta-2',3'-dideoxynucleosides as racemic mixtures. An enzymatic kinetic resolution gives rise to beta-D- and beta-L-configured derivatives in high optical purity. This is exemplified by the synthesis of beta-D- and beta-L-3'-deoxythymidine.

An improved procedure for the isolation of the main addition products of the reaction between nitronium acetate and furfural diacetate or methyl 2-furoate is described.The kinetics of the deacetylation of the diastereomeric 1,4-adducts in buffer solutions revealed a substantial primary hydrogen isotope effect.Mild acid-induced alcoholysis transformed the adducts into 2,5-dialkoxy-2,5-dihydrofurans.The reaction chemistry of the furan adducts is compared with the solvolytic pathways reported for ipso nitronium acetate adducts formed from alkylbenzenes.
