Procedure

2,5,6-Trichloro-3-cyano-1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)indole (4.4, 102 mg, 0.27 mmol) was dissolved in hydrazine hydrate (2 mL), and the resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The suspension thus obtained was diluted with water (8 mL), cooled to 0° C., and the suspension filtered and the solids rinsed with water. The solids were recrystallized from MeOH/H2O to yield 91 mg (90%) of 4.37 as a white crystalline solid: mp 198-201° C.; Rf0.3 (20% MeOH/CHCl3); 1H-NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 8.68 (s, 1H, D2O exch.), 7.76 (s, 1H), 7.27 (s, 1H), 5.81 (d, 1H), 5.78 (b, 1H, D2O exch.), 5.31-5.28 (m, 2H, D2O exch.), 4.84 (s, 2H, D2O exch.), 4.27 (q, 1H), 4.07 (s, 1H), 4.00 (s, 1H), 3.68 (q, 2H). 13C-NMR (125 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 155.50, 131.99, 129.00, 123.60, 121.60, 116.91, 115.45, 111.96, 88.32, 85.95, 71.06, 69.95, 63.28, 60.78.
