K. Kato et al., LITHIATION-MEDIATED C-C SILYL AND STANNYL MIGRATIONS OBSERVED IN 6-CHLORO-9-(BETA-D-RIBOFURANOSYL)PURINE, Tetrahedron letters, 36(36), 1995, pp. 6507-6510
Lithiation of imethylsilyl)-beta-D-ribofuranosyl]-6-chloropurine (1) w
ith LTMP (lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide) and a subsequent reac
tion with either Me(3)SiCl or Bu(3)SnCl was found to effect C-2-substi
tution, as a result of ''silyl or stannyl migration'' from C-8 to C-2
position. Transformation of the resulting 2-stannyl derivative (8) to
2-substituted adenosines was also examined briefly.
