Treatment of 2',3',5'-tri-O-benzoyl-N,N-dimethyladenosine (2c) with methyl iodide in AcNMe2 gave the 3-methyl derivative (3c) as a sole product.Alkaline hydrolysis of 3c afforded the title imidazolecarboxamide (4a), whose hydroxy groups were acetylated selectively with Ac2O-pyridine.Similar methylation of 2',3',5'-tri-O-benzyl-N,N-dimethyladenosine (2d) followed by alkaline hydrolysis provided 2',3',5'-tri-O-benzyl-4a (4d) in good yield.
