An efficient methodology of the synthesis of 6-substituted 2-(hydroxymethyl)purine derivatives (bases and nucleosides) was developed. Regioselective Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of 6-chloro-2-iodopurines with [(benzoyloxy)methyl]zinc iodide gave 2-[(benzoyloxy)-methyl]-6-chloropurines that were converted to 2-(hydroxymethyl)adenines by reactions with ammonia and to 6-methyl- or 6-aryl-2-(hydroxymethyl)purines by cross-coupling reactions with trimethylaluminium or arylboronic acids followed by deprotection. The title 6-substituted 2-(hydroxymethyl)purine bases and nucleosides did not exhibit significant cytostatic or anti-HCV activity.

A facile and efficient methodology of the synthesis of 6-(hydroxymethyl)purine derivatives (bases and nucleosides) was developed based on Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of 6-halopurines or N-protected 2-amino-6-halopurines with (benzoyloxymethyl)zinc iodide followed by deprotection. Regioselective hydroxymethylations of 2,6-dihalopurines were also studied and used for the synthesis of 2-chloro-6-(hydroxymethyl)- or 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)purines. The 6-(hydroxymethyl)purine ribonucleoside 5f exerted high cytostatic effect and moderate inhibition of adenosine deaminase, while all the other derivatives were much less effective or entirely inactive.

A novel approach to the synthesis of (purin-6-yl)acetates was developed based on Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of 6-chloropurines with a Reformatsky reagent. Their reduction with NaBH4 and treatment with MnO2 gave 6-(2-hydroxyethyl)purines, while reactions with amines in presence of NaCN afforded 6-(carbamoylmethyl)purines. Mesylation of the 6-(2-hydroxyethyl)purines followed by nucleophilic substitutions gave rise to several 6-(2-substituted ethyl)purines. This methodology was successfully applied to the synthesis of substituted purine bases and nucleosides for cytostatic and antiviral activity screening. None of the compounds exerted significant activity.
