Synthesis of 2-Azido-(R)-N6-p-hydroxyphenylisopropyladenosine (R-AHPIA) as Potential Photoaffinity Probe for A1Adenosine Receptors

Abstract
The preparation of 2-azido-(R)-N6-p-hydroxyphenyl-isopropyladenosine (R-AHPIA) (1) starting from 2, 6-dichloro-9-(2, 3, 5 -tri-O-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl) purine (2) is described. This new adenosine analogue exhibits patent agonist activity on A1 adenosine receptors and could be suitable for photoaffinity labeling studies on the same receptor subtype.
