A new, improved procedure for the preparation of 5-amino-4- aminocarbonyl-1-hydroxyimidazole from N′-benzyloxy-N,N- dimethylformamidine and 2-amino-2-cyanoacetamide is described. O-Alkylation of this 1-hydroxyimidazole with appropriately functionalised alkyl halides or sulphonates provides an efficient route to acyclic imidazole nucleoside analogues.
