[Synthesis]
The general procedure for the synthesis of 6-amino-9-((2R,3R,4S,5R)-3,4-dihydroxy-3,4-diol of 6-amino-9-((2R,3R,4S,5R)-3,4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)-7H-purine-8(9H)-thione from (2R,3R,4S,5R)-2-(6-amino-8-bromo-9H-purin-9-yl)-5-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl) was as follows :
1. NaSH (0.8 g, 10 equiv) was added to a solution of 8-bromoadenine (0.5 g, 1.44 mmol) in DMF (7 mL).
2. heat the mixture to 100 °C and add a small amount of water to increase solubility.
3. Stir the reaction mixture at 100°C overnight.
4. the solvent is evaporated under high vacuum and the residue is co-evaporated with methanol several times until a solid is formed.
5. the residue is dissolved in water and neutralized with NaOH solution.
6. After freeze-drying, the product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: CHCl3:MeOH = 10:1).
7. The target compound was obtained as a light yellow powder (100% yield, melting point 169-170°C).
