The isomorphous structures of the title molecules, 4-amino-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-3-iodo-1H-pyrazolo-[3,4-d]pyrimidine, (I), C10H12IN5O3, and 4-amino-3-bromo-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, (II), C10H12BrN5O3, have been determined. The sugar puckering of both compounds is C1′-endo (1′E). The N-glycosidic bond torsion angle χ1 is in the high-anti range [−73.2 (4)° for (I) and −74.1 (4)° for (II)] and the crystal structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonds.

Compound (I) was prepared from
1-[2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-(p-toluoyl)-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl]- 3-iodo-4-methoxy-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine
(Seela & Zulauf, 1998; 500 mg, 0.8 mmol) by treatment with saturated
NH3/MeOH (150 ml, 3:1 v/v) for 5 h at 363 K in an autoclave.
The solvent was evaporated and the residue purified by flash chromatography on
silica gel (column 10 × 3 cm, methanol-dichloromethane 1:9).
Crystallization from iPrOH yielded colourless needles (yield 138 mg, 46%)
which showed identical 1H– and 13C-NMR data to those of a verified sample
(Seela & Zulauf, 1998). Compound (II) was prepared from
3-bromo-1-[2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-(p-toluoyl)-β-D-erythro-
pentofuranosyl]-4-methoxy-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (Seela &
Zulauf, 1998; 500 mg, 0.86 mmol) by treatment with saturated NH3/MeOH (150 ml, 3:1 v/v) for 5 h at 363 K in an autoclave. The solvent was
evaporated and the residue purified by flash chromatography on silica gel
(column 10 × 3 cm, methanol-dichloromethane 1:9). Crystallization from
iPrOH yielded colourless needles (yield 148 mg, 52%) which showed identical
1H– and 13C-NMR data to those of a verified sample (Seela & Zulauf,
1998).
All H atoms were found in difference Fourier syntheses but were constructed in
geometrically reasonable positions, with the exception of the amino H atoms.
These were first refined with a common N—H distance and then fixed on the
amino N atoms with a riding model. For all H atoms a common isotropic
displacement parameter was refined. The absolute configurations were
confidently proven by the diffraction experiment.

Special details top
Experimental. For the diffraction experiments single crystals were fixed at the top of
Lindemann capillaries with epoxy resin. |
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes)
are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken
into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles
and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only
used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic)
treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s 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 >
σ(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. |

Special details top
Experimental. For the diffraction experiments single crystals were fixed at the top of
Lindemann capillaries with epoxy resin. |
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes)
are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken
into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles
and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only
used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic)
treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s 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 >
σ(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. |

Oligonucleotides containing 7-iodo-8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine, (I), or 7-bromo-8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine, (II) (Seela & Zulauf, 1998), show enhanced stability of duplexes with antiparallel (aps) chain orientation (Seela et al., 1997; Seela & Zulauf, 1999). Purine skeleton numbering is used throughout the following discussion. The X-ray structures of the related 7-bromo- and 7-iodo-8-aza-7-deazaguanine 2'-deoxynucleosides show that the steric and stereoelectronic effects of the nucleobase are responsible for the high-anti conformation of the base and also for the sugar-ring conformation (Seela, Becher et al., 1999). In the light of this, it was of interest to evaluate the crystal structures of the 7-halogeno-8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosines, (I) and (II), and compare them with that of the unsubstituted 8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine (Seela, Zulauf et al., 1999). Both compounds can now be prepared in a one-pot reaction with increased yield compared with the two-step procedure (Seela & Zulauf, 1998). Compounds (I) and (II) crystallize isomorphously. \scheme
The ribonucleoside 8-aza-7-deazaadenosine (8-azatubercidin) exhibits a C1'-exo-C2'-endo conformation (Sprang et al., 1978), and for the unsubstituted 8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine a 2'T3' (S-type sugar) sugar-ring conformation was determined (Seela, Zulauf et al., 1999). In contrast to this, an unusual C1'-endo (1'E) sugar-ring conformation is observed for (I) and (II). This can be seen from the torsion angle ν3 (C2'-C3'-C4'-O4') of -2.8 (4) for (I) and -3.8 (4)° for (II), implying an almost planar arrangement of these four atoms, with a deviation of C1' from the least-squares planes of 0.488 (5) for (I) and 0.496 (5) Å for (II). The puckering amplitude τm and the pseudorotation phase angle P (Rao et al., 1981) for (I) are τm = 34.8 (3)° and P = 309.4 (4)°, while for (II) τm = 35.0 (3)° and P = 310.9 (4)°.
The orientation of the base relative to the sugar (syn/anti) is defined by the torsion angle χ1 (O4'-C1'-N9—C4) (IUPAC-IUB Joint Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature, 1983); the preferred conformation around the N-glycosidic bond of a natural 2'-deoxynucleoside is usually in the anti range. It was shown that Coulomb repulsion between the non-bonding electron pairs of O4' and N8 of 8-azatubercidin (Sprang et al., 1978), formycin (Prusiner et al., 1973) and 7-halogeno-8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxypurines (Seela, Becher et al., 1999) forces the N-glycosidic conformation into the high-anti (-sc) range (Klyne & Prelog, 1960). Compounds (I) and (II) also adopt a high-anti conformation [χ1 = -73.2 (4) for (I) and -74.1 (4)° for (II)].
The halogeno substituents possess a stereoelectronic effect (Seela, Becher et al., 1999; Rosemeyer et al., 1997); as a result, the torsion angle χ1 is significantly lower compared with that for 8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine [χ1 = -106.3 (2)°; Seela, Zulauf et al., 1999] and the high-anti conformation is strengthened. Compared with (I) and (II), the 7-iodo-7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine adopts a C3'-exo (3'E) sugar-conformation with an almost perfect anti orientation of the base [χ1 = -147.1 (8)°; Seela et al., 1996]. The high-anti conformation of (I) and (II) may be stabilized through van der Waals interactions resulting from the contact between N8 and C2' or one of its H atoms [N—C = 2.761 (5) and N—H = 2.45 Å for (I); N—C = 2.777 (5) and N—H = 2.47 Å for (II)]. Similar interactions were also observed for 8-azaadenosine (Singh & Hodgson, 1974) and 8-azatubercidin (Sprang et al., 1978).
Another intramolecular attraction was determined between the 7-halogeno substituent and one of the amino H atoms of (I) and (II). This hydrogen bond leads to a hindered rotation of the amino group. Therefore, two signals for the amino protons can be observed in the 1H-NMR spectra at ambient temperature. The proton signals become indistinguishable at a coalescence temperature of 340 K.
The exocyclic angle N8—N9—C1' is smaller than C4—N9—C1', by 6.3 (4)° for (I) and by 5.6 (4)° for (II), as observed for other nucleosides adopting the high-anti conformation (Sprang et al., 1978; Prusiner et al., 1973). The conformation about the C4'-C5' bond of (I) and (II) is in the trans (+ap) range [γ = 175.4 (3) for (I), 175.2 (3)° for (II)]. The halogeno substituents of (I) and (II) lead to a lengthening of the glycosidic bond, while the other bond lengths and torsion angles of (I) and (II) are similar to those of 8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine (Seela, Zulauf et al., 1999).
Intermolecular hydrogen bonds formed by (I) and (II) generate a three-dimensional network and provide additional crystal stabilization (Tables 2 and 4).
The 8-aza-7-deazaadenine base of (I) and (II) is planar. The deviations of the ring C and N atoms from the least-squares plane are in the range of -0.031 (5)–0.043 (3) for (I) and -0.037 (5)–0.045 (3) Å for (II). The bulky iodo substituent of (I) lies -0.091 (6) Å and the bromo substituent of (II) -0.084 (6) Å out of the heterocyclic plane. For comparison, the iodo atom of 7-iodo-7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine is located -0.135 (14) Å out of the plane (Seela et al., 1996).
