3 Electronic Supplementary Material (ESI) for rganic & Biomolecular Chemistry verview and brief discussion of the most recently published procedures for preq 1 by Carell et al.: 1 The two most recent procedures suggested to access the modified guanine analogue preq 1 base were reported by Carell et al. in 2005, both starting from pyrimidine 4 (Scheme S1). 1 The first one (Route A), being a short and seemingly straightforward five-step synthesis, involves intermediate formation of preq 0 base from pyrimidine 4 and 2-chloro-3-oxopropanenitrile, followed by a subsequent hydrogenation step to yield preq 1 base. owever, this approach only yields 6.6 % of the desired nucleobase. The second route represents a higher-yielding, yet synthetically slightly more elaborate six-step sequence rendering preq 1 base in 25 % overall yield. After an intermediate phthalimide deprotection step with hydrazine, the resulting product mixture is reprotected by treatment with (Boc) 2 in DMF to enable separation of the product from the simultaneously formed side-products (mainly Phthalhydrazide) by flash chromatography yielding 31 % of Boc-protected preq 1 base. Final deprotection gives rise to the desired nucleobase 1.

In 1988, Akimoto et al. 3 published a shorter, apparently more straightforward synthetic approach. The crucial step of their strategy is based on a regioselective Mannich reaction at the pyrrolo moiety of the previously prepared octanoyl-protected heterocyclic core 20 to introduce a dibenzylated aminomethyl side chain at position 5 of the heterocycle. The resulting intermediate 21 finally allows implementation of the required side chain moiety of queuine by an amine exchange reaction utilizing excessive amounts of the above-mentioned amine 19. Although the regioselectivity of the Mannich reaction (ratio of 5- versus 6-position substitution = 14.2 : 1) is quite high, the obtained product still might contain low amounts of the unwanted 6-substituted isomer. In addition, the synthesis of the required substrate 19 for the following amine exchange is rather challenging and, moreover, has to be applied in large excess (five-fold) in order to achieve a reasonable yield. In 2000, Grubb et al. 4 described an alternative route utilizing a different disconnection approach. erein, the key reaction is the ring closure via a cyclic condensation to install the pyrrolopyrimidine core of the nucleobase S3

In 2010, Showalter et al. 5 reported a significantly shorter strategy using the biochemical preq 1 precursor preq 0 base (24), available in two preceding steps from heterocycle 4, 6 as starting material. Reductive amination of the trityl-protected formyl deazaguanine derivative 25, obtained from preq 0 base 24, with cyclopentenylamine 19, furnishes, after a S4

Cyclopentenylamine 19 is accessible via the corresponding cyclopentenylazide 26 by a modified four-step protocol of Carell et al. 7 in 14.5 % overall yield. owever, a necessary requirement of this synthesis is the implementation of an intermediate silylation step with 24 thus gaining sufficient solubility of the heterocyclic intermediate for the successive nitrile reduction with DIBAL- to form the trityl-protected derivative 25 at lower temperatures. 1.
