METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION OF DEAZAPURINE NUCLEOSIDES

摘要

A method for the preparation of 4-substituted-1- beta -D-ribofuranosyl-1H-imidazo- [4,5-c)-pyridines by enzymatic ribosylation of the corresponding 4-substituted-1H-imidazo-[4,5-c]-pyridine is disclosed. In particular the preparation of 4-amino-1- beta -D-ribofuranosyl-1H-imidazo-[4,5-c]-pyridine (3-deazadenosine) is described.
