Smooth and selective formation of the cyclic 1,N~2-propano adducts in the reactions of guanine nucleosides and nucleotides with acetaldehyde

摘要

The treatment of guanine nucleosides and nucleotides with excess acetaldehyde in pH 8.0 phosphate buffer containing a basic amino acid such as arginine and lysine resulted in the smooth and selective formation of the corresponding cyclic 1,N~2-propano adducts even under mild conditions.
