Like hydrazine hydrate, hydroxylamine was found to be useful for the regioselective 2'-O-deacylation of fully acylated purine and pyrimidine ribonucleosides as its salt with acetic acid; the partial O-deacylation reactions (which were not accompanied by undesirable discolouration as happens with hydrazine hydrate) gave the corresponding di-O-acylribonucleosides in superior yields; e.g. 2',3'-di-O-benzoyladenosine (74percent yield), 3',5'- (64percent yield) and 2',5'-di-O-benzoyl-N6-benzyladenosine (63percent yield on performing the reaction in ethanol), N2,3',5'-tri-O-benzoylguanosine (66percent yield), N2,2',5'-tri-isobutyrylguanosine (48percent yield), and 3',5'-di-O-benzoyluridine (61percent yield) were obtained using hydroxylaminium acetate in pyridine.Treatment of fully acetylated ribonucleosides with an excess of hydroxylaminium acetate gave the corresponding 5'-O-acetylribonucleosides in quantitative yields.The excellent regioselectivity observed in the present partial O-decyclation was confirmed on the basis of chromatographic separation; the mixtures of di-O-acylribonucleosides, which had already been equilibrated in pyridine, were re-equilibrated on the silica gel during separation, e.g. a 70 : 30 mixture of 3',5'- and 2',5'-di-O-benzoyladenosine was completely converted into the former based on 1H n.m.r spectroscopy.The acetates of 9-β-D-xylo- and -arabino-furanosyladenine were also found to give predominantly the corresponding 3',5'-diacetates on hydroxylaminolysis.
