The directions of methylation and protonation in 2-methylthio-6-aminopurine and its 3-, 7-, and 9-methyl derivatives only coincide in the case of the 3- and 7- methyl derivatives, whereas methylation of the 9-methyl isomer takes place mainly at N7 and protonation at N1.A proposal is made about the role of steric hindrances created by the ortho substituent to attack by the methyl at N1.The compounds form dications in trifluoroacetic acid.
