摘要:
A convergent synthesis of adenosine A2a agonist 1 in the form of its maleate salt 2 was achieved. The key step in this approach was the highly selective 9beta-glycosylation reaction between 2-haloadenines or an N-2-alkyl-6-chloroguanine and a D-ribose derivative containing a 2-ethyltetrazolyl moiety. Glycosylations of other purine derivatives were also examined, and the methods developed provide efficient access to a variety of adenosine analogues such as 2-alkylaminoadenosines, an attractive class of compounds with antiinflammatory activity.
