2'-O-Allylguanosine is an intermediate in the synthesis of 2,6-diaminopurine riboside. It is synthesized from allyl chloride and guanosine by an allylation reaction. The yield for this reaction is high, which makes it a useful synthon. Deamination of the product yields 2'-O-allylguanosine 5'-monophosphate, which can be converted to 2',6-diaminopurine riboside by hydrolysis with phosphoric acid. This intermediate is used in research on nucleic acids sequences and hydrogen bonding.
