A palladium-catalyzed alkoxylation of N9-arylpurines with primary or secondary alcohols has been developed successfully, which is a rare C–H activation reaction of polynitrogenated purines and offers a late-stage strategy to synthesize N9-(ortho-alkoxyl)arylpurines. Although there are more than four nitrogen atoms present in the purine moiety, the reaction can be effectively conducted by sterically blocking the N1 site for catalyst coordination and first employing the purinyl N3 atom as a directing group.

A novel copper-catalyzed intramolecular dehydrogenative alkoxylation of purine nucleosides has been developed successfully, providing the 5′-O,8-cyclopurine nucleosides in one-step with a yield up to 90%. The method, which utilized an inexpensive CuCl catalyst and a di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) oxidant was suitable in a broad substrate scope and proceeded well even in gram scale.

A series of novel N6-alkyl(aryl)-2-alkyl(aryl)thioadenosines were synthesized, and their human antiplatelet aggregation activities were evaluated by the stimulation of adenosine 5′-diphosphate (ADP). Some of these compounds showed strong activity, among which compound 5b11 displayed the highest activity with an IC50 value of 29 ± 3 μM. Furthermore, five compounds were tested against arachidonic acid (AA)-induced human platelet aggregation. The results showed that compound 5b10 exhibited the highest activity with an IC50 value of 3 ± 2 μM. The adenosine derivatives substituted with a phenethyl group at the N6 position and a methylthio or ethylthio group at the C-2 position displayed high antiplatelet aggregation activity.Graphical abstractA series of novel N6-alkyl(aryl)-2-alkyl(aryl)thioadenosines were synthesized and evaluated for their human antiplatelet activities.Highlights► A series of novel N6-alkyl(aryl)-2-alkyl(aryl)thioadenosines were synthesized. ► Their human antiplatelet activities were also evaluated. ► Compounds 5b10 and 5b11 showed excellent antiplatelet activity. ► The structure–activity relationships of these novel compounds have been discussed.

Abstract
Two novel copper(II) coordination polymers [Cu(bpp)2(bpdc)(H2O)2]n·2nH2O (1) and [Cu(bpp)2]n·n(tdc)·7.5nH2O (2) (H2bpdc=biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid, bpp=1,3-di(4-pyridyl)propane and H2tdc=thiophene-2,5-dicartboxylic acid) have been synthesized by the reactions of Cu(NO3)2 and bpp with the H2bpdc or H2tdc, respectively at room temperature. In the complexes 1 and 2, their Cu atoms have a distorted octahedral geometry, and two water molecules coordinate weakly to the Cu atom in the long axial direction. Both complexes have one-dimensional linear polymer structures. In complex 1, both carboxylate groups of the bpdc can coordinate to Cu atom, while both carboxylate groups of the tdc dianion in complex 2 do not coordinate to the Cu atom, which only balance the charge. In the both complexes, the bpp ligand has different conformation: trans-trans in complex 1 and trans-gauche in complex 2. The thermal gravimetric analyses indicate that both complexes are stable under 110 and 160 °C, respectively.
