Abstract

The 2-(5-amino-1-phenyl or benzyl)-4-(cyanoformimidoyl)-1H-imidazoles proved to be important intermediates not only in the preparation of new 6-carbamoyl purines but also in the synthesis of 6-amino-purine, 6-cyano-purine and 1,2-dihydropurines. 6-Carbamoyl-2-alkyl-9-(phenyl or benzyl)-9H-purines have been synthesized in high yields by reactions between 2-(5-amino-1-phenyl or benzyl)-4-(cyanoformimidoyl)-1H-imidazoles and acetylacetone at room temperature. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding appears between H of NH2 and N1 at purine ring. All the compounds have been fully characterized by spectroscopic data.
