Mi. Elzagheid et al., Kinetics for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of purine and cytosine 2 '-deoxy-4 '-thionucleosides, NUCLEOS NUC, 18(2), 1999, pp. 181-186
Hydrolysis of adenine, guanine and cytosine 2'-deoxy-4'-thionucleosides in
aqueous acid has been followed by HPLC. Stability of the compounds and mech
anisms of hydrolysis are discussed in comparison with those of the correspo
nding native 2'-deoxynucleosides.
