Abstract

Aryl or tert-butyl substituent in the 6 position of 3,9-dihydro-3-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-9-oxo-6-R-5H-imidazo[1,2-α]purine (6-R-TACV)1 1 partly directs aralkylation reactions into unusual positions: N-4 to give 3 and C-7 to give N-5, 7-disubstituted or N-4, 7-disubstituted derivatives. In the case of alkylation the effect is limited to aryl substituent and position N-4. Replacement of acyclic moiety of 1 with a ribosyl one like in 7 prevents N-4 substitution. Cleavage of the third ring of 3b to give 3-benzylacyclovir 10 is an example of a new short route to 3-aralkyl-9-substituted guanines.
