Compound (I) was prepared according to the method described by Freskos (l989).
The anomeric configuration assignment has been reported previously (Seela
et al., 2003). Suitable crystals were grown from CH2Cl2–CH3OH
(9:1 v/v). Compound (II) was prepared from (I) by protection of
the lactam group with o-anisoyl chloride using transient protection
(Seela, Chittepu et al., 2005). Crystallization from methanol furnished
colourless crystals (m.p. 414 K).
In the absence of suitable anomalous scattering, refinement of the Flack
parameter (Flack, 1983) led to inconclusive values. Therefore, Friedel
equivalents were merged before the final refinements. The known configuration
of the parent molecule was used to define the enantiomer employed in the
refined model. All H atoms were found in a difference Fourier synthesis. In
order to maximize the data:parameter ratio, H atoms were placed in
geometrically idealized positions, with C—H = 0.93–0.98 Å and N—H =
0.86 Å, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H)
= 1.2Ueq(C,N).

Special details top
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
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. |

6-Azapyrimidine nucleosides show significant antiviral activity (Mitchell et al., 1986), while the N3-substituted derivatives possess hypnotic and sedative properties to exhibit central depressant effects in mice (Koshigami et al., 1991). 6-Azauridine 5'-monophosphate is a strong inhibitor of the enzyme orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase (Miller et al., 2000) which, when linked to agarose, leads to an affinity resin used for the purification of this enzyme (Rosemeyer & Seela, 1979). The first synthesis of an anomeric mixture of 6-aza-2'-deoxyuridine was reported in 1963 (Pliml et al., 1963), employing Hg derivatives of 6-azauracil and 2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-(4-methylbenzoyl)-α-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl chloride. Introducing an N atom at the 6-position of the pyrimidine moiety has a profound effect on the physical and biological properties of the nucleobase, which plays a significant role in the catalytic activity of ribozymes (Oyelere & Strobel, 2001) and promotes M-DNA formation under neutral conditions (Seela, Peng et al., 2005). The pKa value of (I) is 6.8 and that of 2'-deoxyuridine is 9.5. Compared with these pKa values, the 6-azapyrimidine nucleoside is acidic and therefore it is already deprotonated under neutral conditions. We have shown that this influences the duplex stability when (I) is a constituent of a nucleic acid. Oligonucleotides containing 6-aza-2'-deoxyuridine show a pH dependence on base-pair formation. The lower pKa value of (I) causes problems during phosphoramidite synthesis. To circumvent this problem, various protecting groups were introduced at the N3-position. The o-anisoyl residue was found to be efficient at allowing multiple incorporations into the oligonucleotide chain using phosphoramidite chemistry, with coupling yields identical to those of standard phosphoramidites. These properties prompted single-crystal analyses of (I) and its N3-protected derivative, (II).
6-Aza-2'-deoxyuridine, (I), has an O4'—C1'—N1—C2 torsion angle χ = -94.0 (3)° (IUPAC–IUB Joint Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature, 1983) (Fig. 1, Table 1), which falls into the range of anti/high-anti conformations and which is almost identical to that of the corresponding ribonucleoside, (III), with χ = -93.3° (Schwalbe et al., 1971; Schwalbe & Saenger, 1973). The protected nucleoside, (II), exhibits a high-anti conformation, with a torsion angle χ = -86.4 (3)° (Fig. 2 and Table 3), and these values are similar to those of other ortho-azanucleosides with an N atom next to the glycosylation position, with χ values close to -90°. This results from the coulombic repulsion between the non-bonding electron pairs of atom O4' and atom at position N-6 in pyrimidine nucleosides or N-8 in 8-azapurine nucleosides (8-aza-7-deaza-7-iodo-2'-deoxyadenosine with χ = -106.3°; Seela et al., 1999). The glycosylic torsion angles of related nucleosides, such as 6-aza-2'-deoxythymidine (χ = -86.6°; Banerjee & Saenger, 1978) and 6-aza-2'-deoxy-5-methyl-isocytidine (χ = -103.4°; Seela et al., 2003), also lie in the anti/high-anti range.
The sugar moiety of (I) shows a pseudorotational phase angle P = 188.1 (2)° with an amplitude τm = 40.3 (2)°, indicating an S-type sugar pucker (C2'-endo–C3'-exo, 2T3; Rao et al., 1981), whereas its anisoyl-protected derivative, (II), adopts an N sugar conformation (C4'-exo, 3T4), with P = 36.1 (3)° and τm = 33.5 (2)°. This is similar to that of ribonucleoside (III) (C3'-endo, 3E; Schwalbe & Saenger, 1973), which has P = 27.6° and τm = 37.6°. The N conformation is uncommon for 2'-deoxyribonucleosides. The conformation around the C4'—C5' bond defined by the torsion angle χ (O5'—C5'—C4'—C3') is similar for these two nucleosides [-175.3 (2)° for (I) and -176.2 (2)° for (II)], representing an ap (trans) orientation.
The base moiety of (I) is nearly planar, with an r.m.s deviation of the ring atoms (N1/C2/N3/C4/C5/N6) from the least-squares plane of 0.0173 (2) Å and a maximum deviation of 0.025 (7) Å for atom C2. The maximum deviation of the pyrimidine ring (N1/N2/C3/C4/N5/C6) of (II) is 0.023 (2) Å [0.034 (5) Å for atom N5 and 0.020 (3) Å for atom N1]. The presence of the N3-anisoyl protecting group does not show much influence on the bond lengths of the nucleobase.
Compound (I) is stabilized by three intermolecular hydrogen bonds (N3—H3···O5', O3'—H3'···O2 and O5'—H5'···O4) and two intramolecular hydrogen bonds (C1'—H1'···O2 and C2'—H2'···N6), leading to the formation of layered sheets (Fig. 3 and Table 2) where the nucleobases stack. Compound (II) forms a three-dimensional network which is stabilized by both intermolecular hydrogen bonds (O3'—H3'···O5' and O5'—H5'···O2) and intramolecular hydrogen bonds formed between the sugar and the nucleobase (C1'—H1'···O2 and C2'—H2'···N6). In the close-packed network of (II), the protecting group shows a perpendicular orientation with respect to the nucleobase in the ac plane. The aromatic H atoms (on atoms C15 and C17) form weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds with atoms O2 (3.310 Å) and O4 (3.211 Å) of the adjacent nucleobase, and there is also an intramolecular C12—H12···O1 hydrogen bond (Fig. 4 and Table 4).
