Soc., 98:7870 (1976). The following diagramatic reaction schemes are described post in the text. ##STR13## The present reaction scheme applied to the most preferred compounds proceeds from toyocamycin 1 which involves especially a consideration of Compound 5 which may by nucleophilic displacement of halogen at C-4 as by amino to produce Compound 6. Also important to the reaction scheme is the nucleophilic addition to a cyano group at C-5 of Compound 6 which produces Compound 8. Studies have shown with respect to Compound 5 having the 4-chloro-5-cyano groups and succeeding compounds such as 6 and 8 that the initial reaction is nucleophilic displacement of the 4-chloro group as in 6 followed by addition to the nitrile function as in 8 producing the 4-amino-5-carboxamide. Referring to the reaction scheme above, toyocamycin (1) was converted to toyocamycin-3-N-oxide (2) by treatment with m-chlorobenzoic acid. Deamination of 2 gave 5-cyano-3-N-hydroxy-7-(.beta.-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4 one (3) and this procedure was accomplished using sodium nitrite and glacial acetic acid. Acetylation of 3 using pyrimidine and acetic anhydride gave 4, which was chlorinated with phosphorous oxychloride to produce 5-cyano-2,4-dichloro-7-( 2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-.beta.-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (5). The pmr spectrum of 5 showed a peak at .delta. 8.15 which was assigned to the C-6 proton peaks for the carbohydrate protons between .delta.3.5 and .delta.4, and peaks for the acetyl protons (9H) in the .delta. 2.1 region. An ir spectrum of 5 showed a strong absorbance in the 2210 cm.sup.-1 region and confirmed that no modification of the nitrile group had occurred during the above transformations. This dichloro compound 5 was important in the production of subsequent compounds and specially here was used to prepare 2-chloro-toyocamycin (6) as follows. Treatment of 5 with liquid ammonia in a sealed reaction vessel for 12 hours at room temperature afforded nucleoside material which was 4-amino-2-chloro-5-cyano-7-(.beta.-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (2-chlorotoyocamycin, 6). In structure proof of 6, a pmr spectrum of 6 showed absorbances for the aromatic proton (1H, S, .delta. 8.48), the carbohydrate protons (8H, .delta. 3.5- .delta. 5), the anomeric proton (1H, d. .delta. 6.07) and a single amino group (2H, broad, .delta. 7.37). This was the expected and desired result since the introduction of one electron donating group (NH.sub.2) would increase the electron density at the second halogen and make nucleophilic displacement of the second halogen more difficult. Additionally, an ir spectrum of 6 showed a strong absorbance at 2210 cm.sup.-1 assigned to the nitrile moiety which precluded the possibility of amidine formation. Thus, it was found that the reaction of 5 with liquid ammonia at room temperature effected displacement of only one of the two chloro groups and also removed the acetyl blocking groups to produce compound 6. The structure for 8 was established in the following manner. Conversion of 6 to 4-amino-2-chloro-7-(.beta.-D-ribofuranosyl)-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5-carboxamide (2-chlorosangivamycin, 8) was achieved using con:ammonium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide. The ir spectrum of 8 displayed no absorbance for a nitrile group and confirmed that oxidation to 8 had occurred. The pmr spectrum of 8 showed, in addition to the carbohydrate peaks, absorbances for an aromatic proton, the 4-amino group, and the carboxamide amino group. The reaction of 6 .fwdarw. 8 is a reaction which was found to be a good measure of the susceptibility of the nitrile group toward nucleophilic addition by the addition of solid hydroxylamine to nitrile functions. The reaction of 6 with hydroxylamine in ethanol afforded 4-amino-2-chloro-7-(.beta.-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5-carboxamidoxime (10). An ir spectrum confirmed that addition to the nitrile group had occurred and a pmr spectrum showed absorbances for the carboxamidoxime (.delta.9.7 for -NOH and .delta.6.1 for -NH.sub.2), the C-4 amino group (.delta. 7.8), the C-6 protom (.delta. 7.9) and the carbohydrate protons. The addition of hydroxylamine to 6 occurred approximately four times faster than the corresponding addition to 1 (0.5 hr vs 2 hr). It would appear that the 2-chloro group does activate the cyano moiety of 6 toward nucleophilic addition since by comparison with corresponding nucleosides without the presence of 2-chloro proceeded at a much slower reaction rate (0.5 hr vs 2 hr). It is noted that the reaction of 5 with ammonia at room temperature affords 6 in moderate yields and nucleophilic displacement is selective for the chloro group at C-4. However, at elevation temperatures (100.degree. for ammonia or 65.degree. for sodium methoxide) the selectivity is lost and a multitude of products are formed. GENERAL EXPERIMENTAL DATA In this process experimentally, melting points were determined with a Thomas-Hoover melting point apparatus and are uncorrected. Thin layer chromatography was performed using 0.25 mm thick SilicAR 7GF plates with the following solvent system: (n-PrOH/EtOAc/HZO [1/4/2: v/v/v] upper phase). PMR spectra were obtained on a Varian A-56/60 instrument using tetramethylsilane as an internal standard. Infrared spectra were determined on a Beckman IR-5A using pressed potassium bromide pellets. __________________________________________________________________________ULTRAVIOLET ABSORPTION SPECTRA OF CERTAINPYRROLOPYRIMIDINE NUCLEOSIDES pH 1 MeOH pH 11Compound .lambda..sub.max .epsilon..sup.a .lambda..sub.max .epsilon. .lambda..sub.max .epsilon.__________________________________________________________________________5-Cyano-2,4-dichloro- 285 6.137-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-.beta.-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo-[2,3-d]pyrimidine (5)4-Amino-2-chloro-5- 278 19.5 280 20.1 278 20.0cyano-7-(.beta.-D-ribofurano-syl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimi-dine (2-chlorotoyo-camycin, 6)4-Amino-2-chloro-7-(.beta.-D- 280 16.1 281 17.5 280 17.2ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5-carboxamide(2-chlorosangivamycin, 8)4-Amino-2-chloro-7- 278 13.6 279 11.8 279 12.3(.beta.-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo- (238).sup.b 15.2[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5-carboxamidoxime (10)__________________________________________________________________________ .sup.a .epsilon. .times. 10.sup.-3 .sup.b () = shoulder
