Abstract

The title acyclic nucleotide analogues derived from 6-hetarylpurines were prepared by Pd(0)-catalysed cross-coupling reactions of 9-[2-(diethoxyphosphonylmethoxy)ethyl]-6-iodopurine (1) with hetarylorganometallics: (pyridin-2-yl)-, (imidazol-2-yl)- and (pyrrol-2-yl)zinc chlorides or (imidazol-5-yl)- stannanes, followed by deprotection in fair to good yields. The starting 6-iodopurine derivative 1 was prepared by iododeamination of the adenine derivative.
