Abstract

Abstract Intensive studies on the diazomethane methylation of the common ribonucleosides uridine, cytidine, adenosine, and guanosine and its derivatives were performed to obtain preferentially the 2′-O-methyl isomers. Methylation of 5′-O-(monomethoxytrityl)-N 2-(4- nitrophenyl) ethoxycarbonyl-O 6-[2-(4-nitrophenyl) ethyl]-guanosine (1) with diazomethane resulted in an almost quantitative yield of the 2′-and 3′-O-methyl isomers which could ...
