SYNTHESIS OF 6-AMINO, 6-METHOXY AND 6-ETHOXY PURINENUCLEOSIDE DERIVATIVES

摘要

A convenient route for the conversion of inosine to the corresponding 6-amino, 6-methoxy and 6-ethoxy derivatives is reported. This conversion can be achieved by ammoniation or etherification of the 6-pyridinium intermediate(3) which can be readily produced under mild reaction conditions. The chemistry and characterization of these compounds are presented, A plausible mechanism of the reaction is proposed.
