Abstract
7‐Substituted 7‐deazapurine (pyrrolo[2,3‐d]pyrimidine) 2′‐deoxyribonucleosides are synthesized by stereoselective nucleobase anion glycosylation. The introduction of a halogen at C7 is performed regioselectively either on the nucleobase or on the nucleoside. The pKa values of a series of 7‐deazapurine 2′‐deoxyribonucleosides are provided, and fluorescence properties are also discussed.
