Abstract
1-(2-Deoxy-.beta.-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-1H-pyrrolo-[3,2-c]pyridine (2''deoxy-3,7-dideazanebularine, 1) and 1(2-deoxy-.beta.-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-4(5H)-one (2''-deoxy-3,7-dideazainosine, 2a) have been synthesized by regio- and diastereospecific solid-liquid phase-transfer glycosylation. Employing the cryptand TDA-1, solid KOH, and an aprotic solvent the nucleoside 6 was formed in almost quantitative yield. It was converted into compounds 2b or 3b by selective displacement of the 4-chloro group. Compounds 1, 2a, or 3c were obtained after catalytic hydrogenation. The nucleoside 2a is extremely stable under acidic as well as under alkaline conditions.
