An efficient synthesis of potent ribonucleotide reductases inhibitors 3-amino-pyridine-2- carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (3-AP) and 3-amino-4-methyl-pyridine-2- carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (3-AMP) is described. The synthesis of 3-AP and 3-AMP was achieved in 4 and 5 steps, with overall yields of 61% and 39%, respectively. The synthesis featured a convergent approach utilizing a Stille coupling strategy to prepare ...
