Summary: Ethyl 3-~-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[3,2-!]purine-9-carboxylate (8) has been prepared from a fully protected 6-chloropurine derivative in four steps including a one-step reaction for the preparation of 3-~-D-ribofuranosyl[3,2-i]purine derivative 5 by 6-enaminopurine and hydrazine, and the mechanism of formation of 5 is discussed.
