J. Zeidler et B. Golankiewicz, SYNTHESIS AND H-1 AND C-13 NMR SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS OF 8-BROMO-2',3'-DIDEOXYGUANOSINE AND 8-BROMO-2',3'-DIDEOXYINOSINE, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 15(5), 1996, pp. 1077-1095
Reaction of 2',3'-dideoxyguanosine 1a as 5'-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl
derivative Ib and 2',3'-dideoxyinosine 2a with bromine in acetate buff
er conducted in heterogeneous medium afforded 8-bromo-2',3'-dideoxygua
nosine 3a (44% after deprotection) and 8-bromo-2',3'-dideoxyinosine 4a
(12%) respectively. The change of conformational preferences anti -->
syn on 8-bromo substitution of 2',3'-dideoxynucleosides is reflected
in the H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra by characteristic shifts of H-2', H-3'
, C-2' and C-3' signals.
