Abstract

7-(1-Cyanobut-3-en-1-yl)-N6-[(N,N-dimethylamino)methylene]adenine (2) was used as a multipurpose starting material for the synthesis of a series of α-branched acyclic analogues of N7-isomer of adenosine by further reactions on allyl (hydroxylation) and/or cyano group (hydrolysis, methanolysis or tetrazole formation).

Keywords: Nucleosides; Acyclic analogues; Purines; Nitriles; Antivirals.
