Reaction of 7-amino-9-ethylguaninium chloride with lead(IV) acetate (LTA) in MeOH yielded 8-aza-9-ethylguanine. Similarly, the reaction of 1- amino-3-methylbenzimidazolium chloride or its substituted derivatives (6- methyl,5,6-dimethyl and 5-nitro) with LTA gave the corresponding 1-methyl- 1H-benzotriazole (or 1-methyl-2-azabenzimidazole) derivatives along with N- methylformanilide derivatives.
