Abstract
A novel and efficient approach for synthesizing acyclic nucleoside analogues with a side chain length of two carbon atoms has been established. It involves purines reacting with α-keto esters in a P(NMe2)3-mediated deoxygenation process, yielding the products in high yields and regioselectivities (22 examples, up to 93 % yield, up to >20:1 N9/N7 selectivities). This reaction features short reaction times, metal-free catalysis, mild reaction conditions, and broad substrate scope, all of which make it promising for practical applications.
