SYNTHESIS OF 7-METHYL-6-(NITROIMIDAZOLYL)THIOPURINES
We have studied the reactions of 7-methyl-6-thiopurine with 5(4)-halo-4(5)-nitroimidazoles and 6-chloro-7-methylpurine with sodium and ammonium salts of 5-mercapto-4-nitroimidazoles. We have obtained a series of 7-methyl-6-(nitroimidazolyl)thiopurines not previously described in the literature. Authors: P. M. Kochergin, E. V. Aleksandrova, V. S. Korsunskii, and V. S. Shlikhunova.
