Abstract

Two alternative approaches to the synthesis of novel 6-(fluoromethyl)purine bases and nucleosides are described either by direct deoxyfluorination or by multistep functional group transformations starting from 6-(hydroxymethyl)purines. 6-(fluoromethyl)purine ribonucleoside displayed significant cytostatic effects.
