Treatment of 1‐(2,3‐ O ‐isopropy lidene‐β‐D‐ribofuranosyl)‐2‐oxo‐4‐imidazoline‐4‐carboxylic acid methyl ester with formaldehyde gave the 5‐hydroxymethyl derivative which, after aeetylalion, gave the 5‐eyanomelhyl derivative by treatment with tetra‐ n ‐butylammonium cyanide. The 2,5′‐ O ‐cyclo derivative of the 5‐cyanomethylimidazole‐4‐carboxylate was converted to the title compound by treatment with ammonia. The present sequence of reactions furnished the chemical conversion of uridine to a 3‐deazaguanosine via the imidazole nucleoside as the intermediate.
