Abstract

A series of heterocyclic carboxamides have been designed as mimics for the natural nucleic acid bases. The nucleosides 1-(2'-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide (1), 1-(2'-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazole-3-carboxamide (2), and 1-(2'deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrole-3-carboxamide (3) were synthesized and their structures confirmed by spectroscopic and analytical means.
