Abstract:

3-Deazaneplanocin A (3-DNPA, 2), an antiviral and antitumor agent, has been synthesized in an optimized procedure in 10 steps, with an increased overall yield of 11.2%. Started from 2,4-dihyroxyl-3-nitropyridine, reduction of nitro group and ring closure of imidazole were carried out in one pot, without the separation of diaminopyridine (10), to give 3-deazapurine (11). Moreover, the conversion of 6-chloro-3-deazapurine (12) to 6-amino-3-deazapurine (13) and the synthesis of N6,N6,N9-tris-Boc-3-deazadenine (16) was promoted by microwave-aid method. Compound 16 benefited the formation of N9 isomer of 3-DNPA in Mitsunobu reaction.

Key words: 3-Deazaneplanocin A, 3-Deazaadenine, Neplanocin A, 1-Deazapurine
