Abstract

Coupling of 9-[2-(diisopropyloxyphosphonylmethoxy)ethyl]-6-chloropurine (23) (and (R)-9-[2-(diisopropyloxyphosphonylmethoxy)propyl]-6-chloropurine (24), respectively) with organocuprates derived from Grignard reagents afforded after deprotection 6-(sec- or tert-alkyl) substituted phosphonates 31-36. As a model a series of 6-(sec- or tert-alkyl)purines 2-12 was also prepared.

Keywords: Acyclic nucleoside phosphonates; Phosphonomethoxyalkylpurine derivatives; 6-Alkylpurines; Purines; Organocopper reagents; Cross-coupling reactions.
