Highly functionalized C6-aryl-substituted purine analogues were synthesized through direct arylation of 6-chloropurine with aromatics promoted by anhydrous AlCl(3) in a single step. The reactions, which were conducted using a 3-fold excess of AlCl(3) in refluxing 1,2-dichloroethane, gave moderate to excellent product yields in 0.5 h. This work is complementary to the classical coupling reactions for the synthesis of C6-aryl-substituted purine analogues.

6-Aryl- and 6-heteroaryl-9-benzylpurines have been synthesized employing palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions in the step forming the C-C or C-N bond between the aryl- or heteroaryl and the purine. The compounds were screened for activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis as well as representative Gram+ and Gram- bacteria, and for cytotoxic effects on mammalian cells. Several potent antimycobacterials were identified. These compounds probably act by a novel and selective mechanism; they exhibit low toxicity toward other bacteria as well as mammalian cells.

Nucleophilic Arylation of Halopurines Facilitated by Brønsted Acid in Fluoroalcohol
Various aryl-substituted purine derivatives were synthesized through the direct arylation of halopurines with aromatic compounds, facilitated by the combination of triflic acid and fluoroalcohol. This metal-free method is complementary to conventional coupling reactions using metal catalysts and reagents for the syntheses of aryl-substituted purine analogues.
