N ‐Methoxy‐9‐methyl‐9 H ‐purin‐6‐amines, carrying various substituents in the 2 positions, were synthesized by the N ‐methylation of known 6‐chloropurines, followed by a displacement of the chlorine. Great variations in the amino/imino tautomer ratio among the compounds studied were observed. The tautomers were identified by NMR methods. Treatment of N ‐methoxy‐9‐methyl‐9 H ‐purin‐6‐amines carrying alkyl, alkoxy, or amino substituents in the 2 position with benzyl bromide resulted in a mixture of N ‐7‐ and N 6 ‐benzylated compounds with the former as the major products. N ‐Methoxy‐9‐methyl‐9 H ‐purin‐6‐amines with strongly electronegative substituents at C‐2 hardly reacted at all under the same set of reaction conditions.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
