Inclusion of an N ‐6 acetate into the ambident nucleophile, sodium 1‐ N ‐methylisoguanide, resulted in a shift in alkylation preference from N ‐9 to N ‐3. The preparation of the N ‐6 acetate of 1‐ N ‐methylisoguanine, 9‐ N ‐acetyl‐1‐ N ‐methylisoguanine (4) , and related acetate analogs are described and evidence presented for their structural determination. Analysis of long range 13 C‐ 1 H coupling data facilitated the structural elucidation of the predominant alkylation products and provided evidence for the unusual N ‐7 hydrogen tautomeric form in one of them, 3‐ N ‐benzyl‐6‐ N ‐acetyl‐1‐ N ‐methylisoguanine (8).
