The Stille cross-coupling reactions of 1,4- and 1,3-bis(trialkylstannyl)benzenes 2 or 3 with 9-benzyl-6-chloropurine (1) led either to mono-coupled 4- or 3-[(tributylstannyl)phenyl]benzenes 5a and 5b or to bis(9-benzylpurin-6-yl)benzenes (4a or 4b) depending on the ratio of the starting compounds, nature of the stannane and conditions. Analogous reaction of 1 with benzene-1,4-diboronic acid gave selectively 4a in good yield. The reaction of stannanes 5 with 1,3-dimethyl-5-iodouracil gave 1-(9-benzylpurin-6-yl)-4- or -3-(1,3-dimethyluracil-5-yl)benzenes (10a and 10b) in low yields. Compounds 4 and 10 are novel types of covalently linked analogues of nucleobase-pairs. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
