Description

2-Amino-6-iodopurine is an analog of the purine nucleoside guanine, which has been used to synthesize a variety of boronic acids. The most common use for 2-amino-6-iodopurine is in the synthesis of benzylboronic acid, which can be used as an organometallic reagent in organic synthesis. This compound also has dehydrogenase activity and has been shown to catalyze the conversion of benzoic acid to benzaldehyde, mediated by NADH. 2-Amino-6-iodopurine is found in the biosynthesis of ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides, where it reacts with chloride ions and phosphate groups to form adenylate and xanthosine monophosphates.
