title: Efficient synthesis of 8-thiosubstituted guanine derivatives as potential tools for biochemical and biological studies.
abstract: A method for the selective introduction of the N2-(dimethylamino)methylene group into 8-thio-9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)guanine (1) has been developed. The effect of the N2-amidine protection on the S-alkylation of 1 was studied.
