Problem 72SP Retroviruses like HIV, the pathogen responsible for AIDS, incorporate an RNA template that is copied into DNA during infection. The reverse transcriptase enzyme that copies RNA into DNA is relatively nonselective and error-prone, leading to a high mutation rate. Its lack of selectivity is exploited by the anti-HIV drug AZT (3’-azido-2’,3’ dideoxythymidine), which becomes phosphorylated and is incorporated by reverse transcriptase into DNA, where it acts as a chain terminator. Mammalian DNA polymerases are more selective, having a low affinity for AZT, so its toxicity is relatively low. (a) Draw the structures of AZT and natural deoxythymidine.

H. G. Khorana won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1968 for developing the synthesis of DNA and RNA and for helping to unravel the genetic code. Part of the chemistry he developed was the use of selective protecting groups for the \(5^{\prime}\ \mathrm{OH}\) group of nucleosides. The trityl ether derivative of just the \(5^{\prime}\ \mathrm{OH}\) group is obtained by reaction of the nucleoside with trityl chloride, MMT chloride, or DMT chloride and a base like \(\mathrm{Et}_{3} \mathrm{~N}\).The trityl ether derivative can be removed in dilute aqueous acid. DMT derivatives hydrolyze fastest, followed by MMT derivatives, and trityl derivatives slowest. (a) Draw the product with the trityl derivative on the \(5^{\prime}\) oxygen. (b) Explain why the trityl derivative is selective for the \(5^{\prime}\ \mathrm{OH}\) group. Why doesn’t it react at or \(2^{\prime}\) or \(3^{\prime}\)? (c) Why is the DMT group easiest to remove under dilute acid conditions? Why does the solution instantly turn orange when acid is added to a DMT derivative?
