Abstract

Abstract: It has been shown that the reaction of chloroacetaldehyde with adenosine at pH 4.5 and 37 OC that produces the fluorescent c-adenosine species will not develop interfering fluorescence with N6-alkyladenosines. The preferred site of methylation and benzylation of E-adenosine and c-adenine was established as N (9)(a) by acidic ring opening of the products to substituted aminobiimidazoles in which the two etheno protons ...
