Abstract:

New methods for the synthesis of 2,6-dichloropurineside and 2-chloroadenosine were developed. The key intermediate 2',3',5'-tri-O-acetyl-2,6-dichloropurineside was obtained from the condensation of 2,6-dichloropurine and β-D-ribofuranose 1,2,3,5-tetraacetate under the catalysis of 5% molar fraction of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. 2,6-Dichloropurineside was obtained by sulfuric acid catalyzed hydrolysis of 2',3',5'-tri-O-acetyl-2,6-dichloropurineside in the yield of 89% and 2-chloroadenosine was obtained from the aminolysis of 2',3',5'-tri-O-acetyl-2,6-dichloropurineside in NH3/CH3OH with the yield of 92%. The starting substrates were all commercially available and affordable. The presented method avoided toxic metal catalysts and chromatography. Moreover, 2-thioadenosine was obtained in reliable yield on a 100 g scale.

Key words: dichloropurineside, chloroadenosine, metal-free, dichloropurine
