Diaminopurines, immobilized on a polymeric support are treated with a charg
e transfer complex of bromine and lutidine to afford 8-brominated derivativ
es. An ionic complex of bromine and lutidine did not oxidize the purines. 2
,6-Dialkyl-aminopurines could also be oxidized on the alpha -carbon of thei
r 2-alkylamino group. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
