Abstract
Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of 6,8-dichloro-9-(tetrahydropyran-2-yl)purine with one equivalent of phenylboronic acid proceeded regioselectively to give 8-chloro-6-phenylpurine, while the analogous Fe-catalyzed reaction with methylmagnesium chloride gave the 6-chloro-8-methylpurine derivative as major product. Both types of the monochloropurine intermediates were subjected to other cross-coupling reactions or nucleophilic substitutions affording the 9-(tetrahydropyran-2-yl)-6,8-disubstituted purines that were easily deprotected to 8-substituted 6-phenylpurines or 6-substituted 8-methylpurines. Attempted analogous reactions with benzylmagnesium chloride and phenylmagnesium bromide gave low conversions and little selectivity.
