1. Silyl-Hilbert-Johnson Reaction in the Pres-ence of SnCL. On joining the pharmaceutical re-search laboratoriesof Schering AG in 1966, 1 started a research program in antiviral chemotherapy and became thus interested in the synthesis and modifica-tion of nucleosides. From all the methods of nucleo-side synthesis available at that time the silyl-Hilbert-Johnson method introduced by Birkofer1· 2 and further developed by Nishimura3· 4 and Wittenburg5· 6 seemed to be the most practical one. Polar and rather insoluble heterocyclic pyrimidine bases such as uracil (la), thymine (lb), or^-acetyl-cytosine (lc) are converted by silylation with hexa-methyldisilazane (HMDS) andtraces of acidic cata-lysts such as trimethylchlorosilane (TCS) into the lipophilic, thermally quite stable basic and volatile bis-(silyl) compounds 2 (Scheme 1). Due to the mobility of the trimethylsilyl groups the most stable O-trim-ethylsilylated aromatic heterocycles 2 are always formed, which are rapidly hydrolyzed by water to the starting bases 1. The even more polar purine bases A^-benzoyladenine (3a) or iW-acetylguanine (3b) af-ford analogously the stable lipophilic and volatile silyl compounds 4.
