Abstract
Some improvements were made on synthetic method for 2′-fluoro-2′-deoxyadenosine (11). Thus 11 was obtained in an overall yield of 9.3% starting from adenosine. 2′-Fluoro-2′-deoxyadenosine 3′,5′-cyclic phosphate (13), an analogue of cAMP, was synthesized from 11. The carbon-13 NMR spectrum was measured. The sugar carbon signals can be unambiguously assigned since the C1′ C2′ and C3′ have different 13C-19F coupling constants. Comparison of the data with those of other 3′,5′-cyclic phosphate derivatives confirms the assignments of C3′ and C4′ signals previously proposed by us.
