Abstract
The syntheses of 8-aminoimidazo[4',5':5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines (7) , stretched-out versions of the naturally occuring nucleoside base ade nine, are reported. Their preparation involves conversion of purine in to 5-aminoimidazo[4,5-b]pyrimidine-6-carbonitrile (1) by reaction with malononitrile, followed by construction of the pyrimidine ring in two steps via the ethoxymethylene derivative 3. 8-Azapurine can be conver ted to -1,2,3-triazolo[4',5':5,6]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines 8 in a simil ar fashion.
