S. Schmidt et D. Cech, A NEW APPROACH TO THE SYNTHESIS OF 2-AMINOPURINE-2'-DEOXYRIBOSIDE VIATRI-N-BUTYLTIN HYDRIDE REDUCTION, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 14(6), 1995, pp. 1445-1452
A simple conversion of guanosine to 2-aminopurine-2'-deoxyriboside is
described. Following the synthesis of the 2'-phenoxythiocarbonyl deriv
ative of 6-chloroguanosine, 2-aminopurine-2'-deoxyriboside can be prep
ared by simultaneous reduction of both the 6- and 2'-position using tr
i-n-butyltin hydride as reducing agent. Several oligonucleotides conta
ining 2-aminopurine-2'-deoxyriboside have been synthesized.
