Participants

Reaction Steps

A compound having a structure of the above formula was prepared where the substituent R1 is —CH2CH3, R2 is hydrogen, and R3 is benzyl (—CH2C6H5). The compound (C19H23N5O5) was prepared by reaction of ethylamine with 2-benzyloxy-6-chloro-9-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)purine (Example 3) as described in Example 2, Step E. The final product was isolated in 40% yield as a solid with melting point of 170-171° C. 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 1.13 (t, 3H, J=8); 3.6 (m, 4H); 3.9 (m, 1H); 4.1 (m, 1H); 4.5 (m, 1H); 5.18 (m, 2H); 5.32 (s, 2H); 5.42 (d, 1H, J×6); 5.78 (d, 1H, J=6); 7.41 (m, 5H); 7.93 (bm, 1H); 8.15 (s, 1H).
