8-Bromo-N6-(dimethylaminomethylidene)-2'-deoxyadenosine is a phosphoramidite that is used in the preparation of antiviral nucleosides and monophosphate. It has been shown to have anticancer activity. 8-Bromo-N6-(dimethylaminomethylidene)-2'-deoxyadenosine is synthesized by reacting an acid halide with a 2'-deoxyribonucleotide. This reaction produces a 2'-bromo adenosine derivative, which is then reacted with dimethylamine to produce the desired product. The synthesis of 8-bromo-N6-(dimethylaminomethylidene)-2'-deoxyadenosine can be performed on a large scale using an automated process.
