Synthesis and hydrolysis of 3-methyladenosine

Abstract
Methylation of N′-benzyloxy-5-formamido-1-β-D-ribofuranosylimidazole-4-carboxamidine (1) followed by hydrogenolysis of the N′-benzyloxy group and cyclization gave the hitherto unknown 3-methyladenosine (4), which was easily hydrolysed to 3-methyladenine (6) in 0·1 N aq. HCl and to the imidazole ribosides (3) and (5) under basic conditions.
