Studies on the Ethylation of Nucleosides with Triethyloxonium Fluoroborate

Abstract
Alkylation of inosine and adenosine triacetates with triethyloxonium fluoroborate leads to selective N-ethylation. Inosine triacetate affords 7-ethylinosine as a major product, while adenosine triacetate is ethylated at the N-6 and -1 positions. Treatment with base affords the 6-ethyl analog by rearrangement.
