Abstract
A simple conversion of guanosine to 2-aminopurine-2′-deoxyriboside is described. Following the synthesis of the 2′-phenoxythiocarbonyl derivative of 6-chloroguanosine, 2-aminopurine-2′-deoxyriboside can be prepared by simultaneous reduction of both the 6- and 2′-position using tri-n-butyltin hydride as reducing agent. Several oligo-nucleotides containing 2-aminopurine-2′-deoxyriboside have been synthesized.
