A 2-amino-4-oxo-5-cyanopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine(III) was prepared according to the method reported by Migawa, et al., “A Two Step Synthesis of the Nucleoside q Precursor 2-amino-5-cyanopyrrolo[2-3-dpyrimidine-4-one” Syn. Comm. 26:3317(1996) which involved the synthesis of chloroformylacetonitrile (110) from chloroacetonitrile (109) and methyl formate as shown in FIG. 19. Cyclocon-densation of compound 10 with 2,6-diamino-4-oxopyrimidine afforded to the key intermediate in 65-70% overall yield. Reductive amination of the 5-nitrile with the appropriate anilines or ethyl-p-aminobenzoyl-L-glutamate in the presence of Raney nickel and hydrogen at 50 psi for 5-6 hours afforded the desired analogues which were purified by column chromatography and were obtained in 20-62% yield. This yielded the product generally represented by compound 112. For the classical analogue, compound 407, which is the compound 112 where R2 is p-benzoyl-L-glutamate, saponification of the chromatographically purified ester afforded the desired product. This method was used to synthesize compounds 407-415, which are generally represented by compound 112 in FIG. 19 with the following substitutions:
