1,4-Bis{4-(p-nitrobenzylideneamino)-1,2,4-triazino[5,6-b]-
indol-3-yl}galacto-tetritol (14)
A suspension of compound 5 (1 g, 2.05 mmol) in etha-
nol (30 mL) was treated with a solution of p-nitrobenzalde-
hyde (0.62, 4.11 mmol) in ethanol (20 mL) containing 2 drops
of CH3COOH. The mixture was heated at reflux for 1 h and
the product was filtered, washed with hot EtOH and crystal-
lized from H2O-EtOH to give compound 14 as pale yellow
crystals; yield: 71%; m.p.: 287-290 °C/dec.; TLC (A), Rf:

General procedure for acetylation of the acyclo C-nu-
cleosides 4-8
A mixture of the appropriate compound 4-8 (2 g, 3.00-
4.37 mmol), pyridine (10 mL) and acetic anhydride (30 mL)
was stirred at room temperature for 48 h. The mixture was
evaporated under reduced pressure and the product was crys-
tallized from CHCl3-EtOH. The folloiwng compounds were
prepared.
