The synthesis of 7-bromo and 7-iodo derivatives of 8-aza-7-deaza-2'- deoxyguanosine (2, 3) as well as the halogenated 4-alkoxy derivatives 4a-c and 5a-c is described. Glycosylation of the halogenated pyrazolo[3,4- d]pyrimidine anions of 7a-c or 8a-c with 2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-(p-toluoy)-α-D- erythro-pentofuranosyl chloride (9) yields regioisomeric glycosylation products, the N(1)-isomers 10a-c and 11a-c as well sa the N(2)-compounds 12a- c. The latter isomers lose their halogen during the glycosylation in the presence of non-anhydrous KOH. Anhydrous conditions (NaH) furnished 10c, 11c together with the halogenated N(2)-isomers 13a,b. Compounds 10a-c, and 11a-c were deprotected and converted to the 4-alkoxy nucleosides 4a-c and 5a-c. The N(1)-nucleosides 4c and 5c were hydrolyzed to give the 7-bromo or 7-iodo derivatives of 8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyguanosines 2 and 3. Different from regular 2'-deoxyribonucleosides the sugar moiety of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine 2'-deoxyribonucleosides shows a preferred N-type pucker (3T2) in solution, a conformation which is also detected in the solid state.
