Purine is a heterocyclic compound featured by a fused pyrimidine and imidazole
rings composed of carbon and nitrogen atoms. The simplest one is purine itself
and the two major purines are adenine(6-Aminopurine) and
guanine(2-Amino-6-hydroxypurine) which are two bases components of nucleic acid
and the nucleotides. Purine itself is not found in nature, but as substituted
purines such as methyled, hydroxyl and amino substituted. In addition to adenine
and guanine, a group of chemical compounds called purine base include
hypoxanthine (6-oxypurine), xanthine (2,6-dioxypurine), uric acid
(2,6,8-trioxypurine), and theobromine (3,7-dimethyl xanthine). Theophylline and
caffeine are a member of methylated purine family. Purines are biologically
important in In medicine and biological research.

chemistry of purines has been largely driven in recent years by
the desire to synthesize oligonucleotides and their analogues as
well as novel purine-containing nucleosides for a wide range of
medicinal applications (Vyle & Howarth, 2001). We have previously
reported the synthesis and polymerization of lipophilic polyamide
nucleic acids (PNA) as potential colorimetric diagnostics (Howarth,
Lindsell et al., 2003), and the design and synthesis of true peptide
mimics of DNA for possible use as antigene agents (Howarth &
Wakelin, 1997; Howarth, Wakelin & Walker, 2003). During these
studies, we have encountered numerous difficulties in preparing
the required N-2-benzyloxycarbonyl-protected guanine monomers from
2-amino-6-chloropurine (Howarth & Wakelin, 1997). Inspired by
the work reported by Dey & Garner (2000) on the synthesis of
tris-tert-butoxycarbonyl 2-amino-6-chloropurine, we decided to employ
a similar strategy for preparing these monomers. As had been found
by Dey & Garner (2000), this reaction afforded a single product.
However, analysis of the product by 1H NMR spectroscopy showed the
presence of only one benzyloxycarbonyl group rather than three,
which had been the case when 2-amino-6-chloropurine was treated
with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate under analogous conditions (Dey &
Garner, 2000). The exact identity of the monobenzyloxycarbonyl-protected
product was revealed to be that of the title compound, (I), by a
single-crystal X-ray study....

series of some biologically active halogenopurines were synthesized
from commercially available guanine. The reaction of guanine with
acetic anhydride yielded 2,9-diacetylguanine (2-1) by acetylation
reaction. Further treatment of 2-1 with POCl3 by PEG-2000 phase
transfer catalysis furnished the important compound 3a, then 2-amino-6-halogenopurines
(3b-d) were obtained through chlorine-exchange halogenations between
KX and 3a by TPPB phase transfer catalyst. Further, 2-halogenopurines
(2-2a-d, 4-2a-d, 5a-d) were efficiently prepared from 2-amino-6-substituted
purines (1, 3a, 4-1) via a diazotization catalyzed by their corresponding
CuX, and some new compounds 2-2a, 2-2c, 2-2d, 4-2c, 4-2d, 5b, 5c
and 5d have been discovered. The structures of synthesized compounds
were mainly established on the basis of their elemental analysis,
1H NMR, as well as their mass spectral data. All the title compounds
were screened for their antifungal activities, and some of the compounds
showed promising activity.
