Synthesis of Potentially Biologically Active 6‐(1,3‐Butadiynyl)purines

1,3‐Alkadiynyl(trimethyl)silanes were prepared by the Negishi or Sonogashira reactions of bromoethynyl(trimethyl)silane with several terminal alkynes in 34–75% yield. However, the direct Hiyama coupling of these compounds with 6‐iodopurine derivatives has not been successful. Therefore, a modified Sonogashira reaction using TBAF or CsF for in situ removal of the trimethylsilyl group has been utilized. This methodology afforded the desired 6‐(1,3‐butadiynyl)purines in 47–87% yield.     

Exploiting the 1,2,3‐Triazole Moiety to Generate Carbazole Molecular Architectures through Click Approach

Reaction of 3,6‐dichlorocarbazole with propargyl bromide in the presence of a basic medium gave an N‐propargylated carbazole. The latter compound was converted into molecular architectures containing 1,2,3‐triazole moiety through Cu(I)‐catalyzed 1,3‐cycloaddition reaction with different azides. Similarly, 2‐azidomethyl benzothiazole was cliched with N‐Boc‐protected N´‐propargyl glutamate to give the biomolecule 2‐triazolylmethyl product.
