Abstract

The regioselectivity of cross-coupling reactions (Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reactions with phenylboronic acid and Fe-catalyzed reactions with methylmagnesium chloride) of 2,6,8-trichloro-9-(tetrahydropyran-2-yl)purine with varying amounts of the organometallic reagent was studied. In general, the regioselectivity of these reactions was quite low giving mixtures of isomers of mono-, di- and trisubstituted products. Nevertheless, 2,6-dichloro8-methyl-9-THP-purine (laab), 2-chloro-6,8-dimethyl-9-THP-purine (labb) and 2,8-dichloro-6-phenyl-9-THP-purine (laca) were isolated in acceptable yields and used as intermediates for further cross-coupling reactions giving a series of 2,6,8-trisubstituted 9-THP-purines that were deprotected to the corresponding purine bases. Characteristic 1 3 C NMR shifts cf CH 3 or ipso-Ph carbons in different positions of the purine ring have been observed enabling rapid and facile identification of the particular isomer.
