 AB    Reaction of 6-chloro,9-(2-acetoxyethoxymethyl)purine 1 with ethyl
       cynoacetat, malononitrile and diethyl malonate in presence of NaH and
       DMF yielded the corresponding 6-methylidene derivatives 2a-c, which were
       deprotected by treatment with methanolic Ammonia to yield 3a-c. During
       the reaction of 1 with cyanoacetamide deacetylation took place
       spontaneously resulting in the deprotected acyclic nucleoside 4.
       Treatment of 2a with methyliodide in presence of NaH and DMF yielded the
       N-methyl derivative 5. NMR and mass spectra of the synthesized compounds
       are discussed.
