Abstract
The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (R)-2-(6-benzylamino-9-isopropyl-9H-purin-2-ylamino)butan-1-ol (roscovitine, 1a), as well as its (S)-enantiomer 1b, were synthesised. The chemical structure and absolute configuration of both enantiomers was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Furthermore, high enantiomeric excess (>98%) was demonstrated by chiral chromatography of la and 1b, as well as NMR analysis of the diastereomeric Mosher's ester derivatives 2a and 2b.
