The total synthesis of 6-amino-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-4(5H)one (8-aza-3-deazaguanine, 3 ) and 6-amino-1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-4(5H)one (8-aza-3-deazaguano-sine, 22 ) has been described for the first time by a novel base-catalyzed ring closure of 4(5)-cyanomethyl-1,2,3-triazole-5(4)carboxamide (14) and methyl 5-cyanomethyl-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-ben-zoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate (17) , respectively. Under the catalysis of DBU, 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone of dimethyl 1,3-acetonedicarboxylate (7) was converted to methyl 5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-1-(2,4-dinitroanilino)-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate (12) via dimethyl 2-diazo-3-iminoglutarate (8) . Catalytic reduction of 12 gave methyl 4(5)methoxycar-bonylmethyl-1,2,3-triazole-5(4)carboxylate (11) from which methyl 4(5)carbamoylmethyl-1,2,3-triazole-5(4)carboxylate (10) was obtained by ammonolysis. Dehydration of 10 provided methyl 4(5)cyanomethyl-1,2,3-triazole-5(4)carboxylate (13) which on amination gave 14 .

The yield and ratio of the ribofuranosyl derivatives of 13 markedly depends on the ratio of stannic chloride used. The structures of the nucleosides 22 and 23 were established by a combination of NOE, ¹H-nmr and ¹³C-nmr spectroscopy.
