The Synthesis of 2-Fluoropurine Nucleosides

Abstract
2-Aminoadenosine, obtained by silylation-amination from guanosine, is readily converted by KNO2/ HF/Pyridine in up to 80% yield into 2-fluoradenosine, which is a convenient starting material for the preparation of 9(β-D-arabinofuranosyl)-2-fluoroadenine 5′-phosphate (Fludara). N6N6-Pentamethylene-2-aminoadenosine and guanosine afford likewise the corresponding 2-fluoropurine nucleosides in high yields.
