2'C-methyladenosine result in the respective sugar and stable adenine moiety except in the case of 1-methyladenosine where the resultant 1-methyladenine is more slowly transformed into 5-aminoimidazole-4-yV'-methylcarboxamidine. The typical ranking of relative activities are given above for 80 in 0.10 Mhc1. Studies have been conducted at various acid and buffer concentrations, and at various temperatures for many of these compounds. The facts that only specific acid catalyzed solvolyses of the protonated and non-protonated species were observed and that there was no maximum in solvolysisrate in the low pH region supported the argument against a Schiff base intermediate subsequent to ethereal oxygenattack. The probability of an Al mechanism for solvolyses of diprotonated adenine nucleosides with protons on the nitrogens in the 1 and 7 positions is favored by the fact that the entropies of activation, 5*, are close to zero. Although the inductive effect of the 2'hydroxyl on the sugar moiety of adenosine inhibits acidsolvolysis, a less significant increase in reactivity is introduced by the substitution of a hydrogen for the 3'hydroxyl. The effects of substituents on the pyrimidine ring of theadenine moiety lead to onlyminor effects in reactivity whereas substitution of a bromine or methoxyl group on C-8 of the imidazoleportion has a more pronounced effect consistent with the appropriate order for in-ductive effects aiding protonation. This and otherevidence is consistent with the presumption that hydrogenion attack of the protonated purine nucleosideto form a solvolyzing dication by an Al mechanism is on the imidazole moiety andmost probably at the 7 position rather than on the ethereal oxygen. The fact that the 1-methyladenosine cation solvolyses in acid at about the same rate as the adenosine cation strongly suggests that it is the 1-protonated form of the latter that reacts with a second proton to result in a solvolyzing dication.Amechanistic explanation of the acid solvolysis of the nucleosides to a base and a sugar has been pro-posed based on the analogous solvolysis of the simpler glycosylamines. 1 The essential steps were considered to be the protonation of the sugar ring oxygen, sugar ring opening, followed by water attack on the Schiff base to yield the heterocyclic base and sugar. 2-4 If the
