SYNTHESIS OF ISOMERIC ANALOGS OF AZATHIOPRINE

摘要

The effective synthesis of isomeric analogs of azathioprine-6-substituted derivatives of 7-methyl-2-(1-methyl-4-nitroimidazol-5-ylthio)purines (2), (4) and (6-8) has been worked out using different reactivity of the imidazolylthio groups in 7-methyl-2,6-di(1-methyl-4-nitroimidazol-5-ylthio)purine (1) towards selected reagents. X-Ray analysis of compound (1) showed an unusual conforma-tion of the imidazolylthio groups.
