Abstract: Intermediates and methods for producing intermediates for use in preparing 9-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxymethyl)-guanine and esters and ethers thereof.

Abstract: Nucleosides compounds of Formula I: ##STR1## wherein B is a purine or a pyrimidine;X and X' are H;Y is H;Y' is OH, F or H;or Y' and X' together makes a bond;Z is ##STR2## where n is zero, one, two or three; or Y' and Z together form a cyclic phosphate ester; Z' is --CN, --CH.sub.3, CH.sub.2 N.sub.3 or --CH.sub.2 J,where J is a halogen atom;or Z' and Y' together are --CH.sub.2 O--; and pharmaceutically acceptable esters, ethers, amides, N-acyl moieties and salts thereof.

Abstract: An improved process for the synthesis of 2-(2'-thienyl)ethylamine from suitably functionalized derivatives of 2-(2'-thienyl)ethanol employing ammonia gas in the presence of a metal salt or liquid ammonia and alkyl ketone as a solvent. The 2-(2'-thienyl)ethylamine produced by this process is advantageously converted to ticlopidine.

Abstract: Nucleoside analogues having a ring-open structure, of general formula: ##STR1## where R and R' may be hydrogen, silyl groups, substituted alkyl groups, benzyl groups and the like, and X is an optionally substituted base such as guanine or adenine, have been shown to exhibit anti-viral and other biological activities at non-toxic levels.
