To develop an efficient method for the synthesis of a highly diastereoselective (2'R)-2'-deoxy[2'-2H]guanoslne (1), studies of organic chemical conversion from 2'-bromo-2'-deoxy-N2-isobutyryl-3',5'-O-TIPDS-guanosine (2) to 1 and a biological transdeoxyribofuranosylation of (2'R>98 % de)-2'-deoxy[2'-2H]uridine (4) were carried out. As the results, a highly diastereoselective synthesis of 1 was achieved by a biological transdeoxyribo-furanosylation between 2,6-diaminopurine and 4 by the use of Enterobacter aerogenes AJ-11125, followed by treatment with adenosine deaminase. The results will be described in detail.
