PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF 9-DEAZAGUANINE DERIVATIVES

摘要

PURPOSE: Process for the preparation of 9-deazaguanine derivatives is provided. CONSTITUTION: Derivatives of 9-deazaguanine are prepared by reacting an aldehyde or ketone with a dialkylaminomalonate to form the corresponding enamine. The enamine is then reacted with a base to form a cyclic pyrrole. The cyclic pyrrole is reacted with an urea compound to provide a protected guanidino compound. The guanidino is converted to the desired 9-deazaguanine derivative by reacting with trifluoracetic acid or with an alkoxide or hydroxide followed by neutralization with an acid.
