Abstract

9-(4-Hydroxy-3-hydroxymethylbutyl) guanine (Penciclovir) is a potent and selective inhibitor of members of the herpes virus family. A new convenient synthesis of fluorinated Penciclovir analogues 9-(4-fluoro-3-hydroxymethylbutyl) guanine (FHBG) and 2-amino-6-fluoro-9-(4-hydroxy-3-hydroxy-methylbutyl) purine (6-Fluoropenciclovir) were described. The structures of the products were characterized by UV, IR, 1H NMR, 19F NMR spectra and MS.
