2',3'-O-(Methoxymethylene)uridine, (III), was prepared according to a previously reported method (Shiragami et al., 1988). All other chemicals were obtained commercially and were used without further purification. The title compound, (I), was prepared according to a similar procedure used for the synthesis of 1-(5-O-acetyl-2,3-dideoxy-β-D-glycero-pent-2-enofuranosy1)uracil, (II). A solution of (III) (7.0 g, 21.3 mmol) in acetic anhydride (50 ml) was bolied gently and the acetic acid which formed was boiled off. After the disappearance of the starting material (about 5 h), the remaining acetic anhydride was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was dissolved in chloroform (100 ml) and washed with aqueous NaHCO3 (50 ml). The aqueous layer was extracted with CHCl3 (50 ml). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, concentrated and purified by silica-gel column chromatography (CHCl3–MeOH 10:1 v/v) to give (I) (yield 4.3 g, 65%; m.p. 461–463 K). Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were crystallized from a methanol–ethyl acetate mixture [Solvent ratio?].
C-bound H atoms were placed geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic H atoms, C—H = 0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for methine H atoms, C—H = 0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for methylene H atoms, and C—H = 0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms. The chirality of (I) was known from the synthetic route and the absolute structure was assigned on the basis of the known chirality of uridine used in the chemical synthesis.

Experimental. Absorption correction: CrysAlisPro, Agilent Technologies, Version 1.171.36.20, Empirical absorption correction using spherical harmonics, implemented in SCALE3 ABSPACK scaling algorithm. |
Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Conformationally restricted cyclonucleoside analogues are of considerable importance in biochemistry, medicinal chemistry and nucleoside-based drug discovery (Wnuk et al., 2002; Bennett & Swayze, 2010). These compounds are key intermediates for the synthesis of a considerable number of nucleoside analogues (Dai et al., 2008; Belostotskii et al., 2012). Besides their utility in synthetic chemistry, cyclonucleosides, with a rigid fused polyring system, are good reference compounds to correlate X-ray data with dihedral angles obtained from proton–proton coupling constants (Jardetzky, 1960; Cross & Schleich, 1973) and circular dichroism (Miles et al. 1979).
In our attempt to synthesize deoxyuridine derivatives, we attempted to make use of a pivotal intermediate, 1-(5-O-acetyl-2,3-dideoxy-β-D-glycero-pent-2-enofuranosy1)uracil, (II), which was reported to be readily obtained from 2',3'-O-(methoxymethylene)uridine, (III) (Shiragami et al. 1988). However, when repeating this procedure in our laboratory, we found that 2,2'-anhydro-1-(3',5'-di-O-acetyl-β-D-arabinofuranosyl)uracil, (I), was the main product instead of (II). The expected product (II) formed but in low yield (23%) and was found to be unstable in boiling acetic anhydride. 3',5'-Diacetylated cyclouridine, (I), was obtained in 65% yield after boiling for 5 h. To confirm its molecular structure, as well as to provide the solid-state conformation of this fused polyring system, we report here the crystal structure of (I) (Fig. 1) and compare the structure with those of related cyclouridine molecules.
The preferred sugar puckering modes in nucleosides are C2'-endo and C3'-endo (Saenger, 1984), whereas the C4'-endo (4E) conformation was considered to be unlikely considering the short O2'—O3' distance and the fact that some adjacent bonds would be in an eclipsed conformation (Jardetzky, 1960). However, with the cyclization of O2' and C2', the ribosyl furanose ring changes to the arabinosyl configuration, thus eliminating the steric congestion at O3'. The fused oxazolidine ring demands C1'—N1 and C2'—O2' to be eclipsed in order to conform to the sp2 character of atoms N1 and C2 in the pyrimidine ring. The X-ray study of (I) shows that the five-membered furanosyl ring adopts a perfect C4'-endo puckered conformation. The best four-atom plane, comprised of atoms O4', C1', C2' and C3', is planar, as the O4'—C1'—C2'—C3' torsion angle is only 0.2 (3)°. Atom C4' is displaced by 0.48 (6) Å to the same side of this plane as C5'. A quantitative analysis of the ring conformations was performed using the method of Cremer & Pople (1975) for the calculation of puckering parameters. The polar parameters for the furanose ring are Q = 0.313 (2) Å and ϕ = 142.0 (8)°, comparable with an ideal envelope C4'-endo conformation (ideal ϕ = 144°). This conformation is also found in cyclonucleosides such as 2,2'-anhydro-1-(β-D-arabinofuranosyl)uracil (Suck & Saenger, 1973) and 1,2-di-O-isopropylidenepentofuranose (Doboszewski et al. 2012).
The exocyclic C4'—C5' bond adopts a gauche–trans conformation instead of the gauche–gauche conformation commonly observed in nucleosides (Shefter & Trueblood, 1965). The corresponding dihedral angles, as defined by Shefter & Trueblood (1965), are ϕOO = 55.7 (4)° and ϕOC = 173.2 (3)°. This geometric arrangement may lessen the short contacts that would occur if the conformation were gauche–gauche and syn (Seshadri et al., 1983). In addition, a significant intramolecular C5'—H5'2···π(pyrimidine) hydrogen bond and a C7—O7···π(pyrimidine) interaction were observed in this molecule, which we believe are the other main force stabilizing the C4'—C5' gauche–trans configuration. The present geometry is very similar to that of the 5'-O-tosyl and 5'-O-acetylated analogues (Gautham et al., 1983; Seshadri et al., 1983).
The uracil ring and the five-membered oxazolidine ring fused at atoms N1 and C2 are both essentially planar. The interplanar angle between the six- and five-membered rings is about 2°. The glycosidic torsion angle χ [O4'—C1'—N1—C6] is 296.8 (5)°, reflecting a syn conformation. The value agrees well with that for the similar fused-ring systems, 2,2'-anhydro-l-β-D-arabino-furanosyl cytosine hydrochloride (χCN = 299°; Sundaralingam, 1973) and 2,2'-anhydro-l-β-D-arabino-furanosyl uracil (χCN = 294.5°; Delbaere & James, 1973).
For the 5'-O-acetyl group, the C8—C7—O5'—C5' and O7—C7—O5'—C5' torsion angles are 176.4 (4) and -4.9 (6)°, respectively, and thus the C8—C7 bond is trans and the C7—O7 bond cis to the arabinose C5'—O5' bond. This is the same for the 3'-O-acetyl group, as the C10—C9—O3'—C3' and O9—C9—O3'—C3' torsion angles are 178.3 (3) and -2.8 (5)°, respectively, indicating that the C10—C9 bond is trans and the C9—O9 bond cis to the C3'—O3' bond.
Various C—O···π, C—H···π, C—H···O and C—H···N hydrogen bonds are present in the structure of (I). The C—O···π interactions can be observed with an intramolecular C7—O7···Cg interaction [O7···Cg = 3.509 (4) Å] and an intermolecular C9—O9···Cgi interaction [Cg is the centroid of the N1/C2/N3/C4–C6 ring [Added text OK?]; symmetry code: (i) x - 1, y, z]. Molecules are arranged in chains in a head-to-tail fashion via C6—H6···N3ii hydrogen bonds and C1'—H1'···O4iii short contacts [symmetry codes: (ii) x + 2, y - 1/2, -z; (iii) -x + 2, y + 1/2, -z] along the [010] direction (Table 1 and Fig. 2). These chains are further connected via weak C8—H8B···O7iv hydrogen bonds [symmetry code: (iv) x + 1, y + 1/2, -z + 1] into a sheet and these sheets are in turn further connected via various weak C—H···O short contacts into a three-dimensional network.
