title: A new method for the synthesis of N2-alkylguanosines using Mitsunobu reaction as a key step.
abstract: Peracetylated guanosine was reacted with POCl3 to give an 2-acetamido-6-chloro-9H-purine derivative, which was condensed with primary or secondary alcohols to give N2-alkylated analogues. The products were treated with mercaptoethanol in the presence of sodium methoxide to afford N2-alkylguanosines.
