The reaction of benzotriazole with aliphatic, aromatic or heteroaromatic aldehyde and adenosine leads to a benzotriazole adduct which is reduced with sodium borohydride to the corresponding N 6 ‐alkylated adenosine derivatives. This procedure is also utilized in a new route to N 6 ‐(3‐iodobenzyl)adenosine‐5′‐ N ‐methyluronamide (IB‐MECA) which is considered an important adenosine agonist at A 3 adenosine receptors.
