Methylation of adenosine, deoxyadenosine, 6-N-methyladenosine and 2'(3')-O-methyladenosines with trimethylselenonium hydroxyde was studied in the presence and absence of copper(II) acetylacetonate .It was found that copper(II) ions promoted methylation of the 2'(3')-OH groups of the ribonucleosides but suppressed methylation at the N-1 position of the adenine rings.The metal-ion effects are discussed in conjunction with a catalytic role for Cu(AA)2 in the reactions.
Methylation study of ribonucleosides, deoxyribonucleosides, and 2′-O-methylribonucleosides with trimethylsulphonium hydroxide and trimethylsulphonium iodide. Influence of the 2′-hydroxy-groups on the reactivity of the base moieties of ribonucleosides

Methylations of the naturally occuring ribonucleoside (1), deoxyribonucleoside (2), and 2′-O-methylribonucleoside (3) were carried out using trimethylsulphonium hydroxide (Me3SOH) and trimethylsulphonium iodide (Me3Sl). The base moiety of (2) and (3) are more reactive than the corresponding base moiety of (1). The sites and extent of methylation of (2) are considerably different from those of (1), but are almost identical with those of (3). The reactivities of (1)-(3) are discussed in connection to an intramolecular interaction of the 2′-OH groups with the base moiety of (1). The methylating characteristics of Me 3SOH and Me3Sl are also described. The kinetics indicate an SN2 mechanism for methylation of nucleosides by Me 3S+ ions.
