Pyrrolidine nucleotides conformationally constrained via hydrogen bonding
Pohl, Radek ; Poštová Slavětínská, Lenka ; Rejman, Dominik
Conformation of pyrroPME nucleotide analogues was studied by means of NMR at different pD values in D2O solutions. Surprisingly, two stable conformers were found at pD > 9 for both cis and trans configurations and their ratio depended on the acid-base properties of nucleobase attached to pyrrolidine ring. The results of conformational analysis suggest that the conformation of the pyrrolidine ring is locked via intramolecular hydrogen bond between negatively charged phosphonate oxygen atom and protonized pyrrolidine nitrogen.

Phosphanucleosides containing 1-hydroxymethylphospholane 1-oxide ring
Páv, Ondřej ; Zborníková, Eva ; Buděšínský, Miloš ; Rosenberg, Ivan
Novel phosphanucleosides containing 1-hydroxymethylphospholane 1-oxide ring were synthesized as compounds with potential biological activity. A ring-closing metathesis was employed to prepare a phospholene precursor, which was then converted into either 4-azido-3-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethylphospholane 1-oxide or 3-azido-1- hydroxymethylphospholane 1-oxide derivatives. Subsequently, nucleobase was introduced using a nucleobase construction. The biological activity of prepared compounds was evaluated.

Switchable intramolecular hydrogen bond in polysubstituted 5-nitrosopyrimidines
Procházková, Eliška ; Čechová, Lucie ; Žurek, Jiří ; Janeba, Zlatko ; Dračínský, Martin
The formation of strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds was observed in a series of 2-amino-5-nitrosopyrimidines with alkylamino and arylamino substituents in the positions 4 and 6. Mixtures of two rotamers differing in the orientation of the nitroso group were observed in the NMR spectra of the compounds where two distinct intramolecular hydrogen bonds could be formed. In several cases, we were able to isolate and characterize the two hydrogen bond isomers (two conformers) by column chromatography. The ratio of the two rotamers in equilibrium depends strongly on the character of the substituents in the positions 4 and 6 and can be finely tuned in a broad range of conformation ratios. The experimental results were supported by DFT calculations.
