Abstract

Novel 2-aryl AICAR (5-Amino-1-β-d-ribofuranosylimidazole-4-carboxamide) derivatives 8 were synthesized via the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of 8-bromoadenosine. Following conversion of the adenine moiety of 4 to hypoxanthine (5) and the introduction of a MEM group, hydrolysis of 7 gave desired 2-aryl AICAR derivatives 8.
