Purine Studies. Part 24. Preparation of 1,6- and 7,8-Dihydro-derivatives of 8-Trifluoromethylpurines by Reduction

8-Trifluoromethylpurine (1a) was converted by catalytic hydrogenation entirely to the 1,6-dihydro-derivative (3a), whereas 9-methyl-8-trifluoromethylpurine (1b) produced a 2:1 mixture of the 1,6- (3b) and 7,8- (5) dihydroderivatives.The new hydrogenated purines are characterised by unusual stability.Physical properties are discussed and compared with those of analogues from several other heterocyclic series.
