A number of 2-substituted-a-i and -0-2'-deoxyadenosines have been prepared, and their growth inhibitory activity against leukemia L-1210, Streptococcus faecium, and Escherichia coli has been evaluated in vitro. Fusion of 2,6-dichloropurine with 1,3,5-tri-0-acety 1-2-deoxy-D-erythro-pentofuranose or with methyl 3,5-di-0-p-toluyl-2-deoxy-D-eryf/vo-pentofuranoside gave the anomeric mixtures of the acetyl-(80%) or p-toluyl-(30%) blocked deoxynucleosides. The acetylated mixture was treated with liquid ammonia, and the resulting2-chloro-2'-deoxy-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
