J. Barends et al., Palladium-catalyzed amination of 6-chloropurine. Synthesis of N-6-substituted adenosine analogues, NUCLEOS NUC, 18(9), 1999, pp. 2121-2126
Room-temperature treatment of persilylated 6-chloro-9-beta-D-ribofuranosylp
urine with a variety of aliphatic and aromatic amines, in the presence of P
d-2(dba)(3), BINAP and base, leads to N-6-substituted adenosine analogues i
n fair to good yields. Coupling of chloropurine with a chiral aziridinyl di
ester is applied in the synthesis of a potential adenylosuccinate lyase inh
ibitor.
