Stereoselective synthesis of antiviral synguanol (1) is described. Reaction of 6-benzyloxy-2-(dimethylaminomethyleneamino)purine (10) with ethyl (cis,trans)-2-chloro-2-(chloromethyl) cyclopropane-1-carboxylate (2c) under the conditions of alkylation-elimination gave (Z)-6- benzyloxy-2-formylamino-9-[(2-carbethoxycyclopropylidene)methyl]purine (11) but no E,N(9)-isomer. Minor amounts of (Z)-6-benzyloxy-2-formylamino-7-[(2-carbethoxy-cyclopropylidene)methyl]purine (13) were also obtained. Hydrolysis of compounds 11 and 13 in 80% acetic acid afforded (Z)-9-[2-(carbethoxycyclopropylidene)methyl]guanine (14) and (Z)-7-[2-(carbethoxy- cyclopropylidene)methyl]guanine (15). Reduction of 14 furnished synguanol (1). Reaction of N(4)-acetylcytosine (7) with ester 2c led to (Z,E)-1-(2-carbethoxycyclopropropylidenemethyl)cytosine (8, Z/E ratio 6.1:1). Basicity of purine base, lower reactivity of alkylation intermediates as well as interaction of the purine N(3) or cytosine O(2) atoms with the carbonyl group of ester moiety seem to be essential for the observed high stereoselectivity of the alkylation-elimination. The Z-selectivity is interpreted in terms of E1cB mechanism leading to a transitory "cyclic" cyclopropenes which undergo a cyclopropene-methylenecyclopropane rearrangement.
