Abstract

The preparation of 8-amino-3-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-1,2,4-
triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazine (IV) as an analogue of 9-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)
methyl]guanine and 9-(S)-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)adenine is described
from the reaction of 3-chloro-2-hydrazinopyrazine (V) and ethyl 2-(2-acetoxyethoxy)thioacetimidate (IXg) followed by treatment with ammonia. Compound IV was found to lack antiviral properties towards herpes simplex I and II, vaccinia virus, vesicular stomatitis virus, measles, reovirus type 1, parainfluenza virus type 3, Sindbis virus, Coxsackie type B4 virus, and poliovirus type.
