An efficient synthesis of acyclic N7-and N9-adenine nucleosides via alkylation with secondary carbon electrophiles to introduce versatile functional groups at the C-1 …
The introduction of versatile functional groups, allyl and ester, at the C-1 position of the acyclic chain in acyclic adenine nucleosides was achieved for the first time directly by alkylation of adenine and N6-protected adenine. Thus, the C-1′-substituted N9-adenine acyclic nucleoside, adenine-9-yl-pent-4-enoic acid ethyl ester (11), was prepared by direct alkylation of adenine with 2-bromopent-4-enoic acid ethyl ester (6), while the ...
