Sulfenamides, R2NSR, prepared from an amine and a sulfenyl halide, " are readily cleaved by acid hydrolysis and have been used in syntheses of peptides, penicillins, and nucleosides. They are also cleaved by nucleophiles, and by Raney nickel desulfurization. ... 

Protective group chemistry for these amines has been separated from the simple amines because chemically they behave quite differently with respect to protective group cleavage. The increased acidity of these aromatic amines makes it easier to cleave the various amide, carbamate, and sulfonamide groups that are used to protect this class. A similar situation arises in the deprotection of nucleoside bases (e.g., the isobutanamide is cleaved with methanolic ammonia ), again, because of the increased acidity of the NH group. 

Attached by a covalent bond to carbon atom 1 of the deoxyribose ring is an amine (and therefore a base), which may be adenine, A (22) guanine, G (23) cytosine, C (24) or thymine, T (25). In RNA, uracil, U (26), replaces thymine. The base bonds to carbon atom 1 of deoxyribose through the nitrogen of the —NH— group (printed in red) and the compound so formed is called a nucleoside. All nucleosides have a similar structure, which we can summarize as the shape shown in (27) the lens-shaped object represents the attached amine. 

N-Glycosyl derivatives are conveniently named as glycosylamines. In the case of complex heterocyclic amines, such as nucleosides, the same approach is used. 

This approach offers unique opportunities for the generation of multi-functionalized cyclic 2-azadiene systems. A wide variation of the substitution pattern at the positions N-1 and C-6 can be determined by an appropriate choice of the aldehyde and amine. Various substituents can easily be introduced at the C-3 position via addition/elimination reactions on the sensitive imidoyl chloride moiety [24]. Upon reaction with bi-functional reagent, an adequately AT-protected 2(lH)-pyrazinone was elaborated into C-nucleoside analogues (Scheme 8). The desired skeleton and functionalities were obtained by oxidation-cyclization reaction followed by photochemical removal of the protective o-nitrobenzyl group [25]. 

All these steps proceed to afford free or N -substituted crystalline cytidines 6 in high yields [11] (cf. the preparation of N (tetramethylene)cytidine 6b in 95.4% yield in Section 1.1.). This simple one-pot reaction is also very easy to perform on a technical scale, as are the subsequently discussed analogous silylation-aminations of purine nucleosides and other hydroxy-N-heterocycles (cf. Sections 4.2.4 and 4.2.5). The concept of silylation-activation while simultaneously protecting hydroxyl groups in alcohols, phenols, or phosphoric acids by silylation was subsequently rediscovered and appropriately termed transient protection [16-18]. 

Polar functional groups such as alcohols or phenols 11 or trimethylsilanol 4 are transformed by monofunctional silylating reagents Me3SiX 12 into their hpophilic and often volatile trimethylsilyl ethers 13 whereas water is converted into persilyl-ated water (=Me3SiOSiMe3, hexamethyldisiloxane, HMDSO, 7, b.p. 100 °C). The persilylation of phenols and, in particular, catechol (or hydroquinone) systems (Scheme 2.1) protects them efficiently against air oxidation even at temperatures of up to 180 °C. (cf, e.g., the silylation-amination of purine nucleosides with dopamine hydrochloride in Section 4.2.4)... 

Although several methods are used to aminate heterocyclic aromatic hydroxy-N-heterocycles [36], some additional, special, amination procedures are used for nucleoside modification. When we planned to synthesize a series of N -substituted cytidines 5 starting from uridine 1 we considered known classical methods, which imply (Scheme 4.14) ... 

Unfortunately, the two fuU papers on the silylation-amination of pyrimidine [49] and purine nucleosides [64] as discussed in Sections 4.2.3 and 4.2.4, were pubhshed in German and are thus not readily accessible, although a few detailed procedures from Sections 4.2.3 and 4.2.4 were subsequently published in English [65]. The third paper on the silylation-amination of aromatic hydroxy-N-hetero-cycles, however, as discussed in Section 4.2.5 was, fortunately, pubhshed in English [27]. 

Because aromatic purines and purine nucleosides and free purines such as hypo-xanthine and guanine 242 are readily silylated-aminated [64] (cf Scheme 4.24), it is obvious that 6-membered hydroxy-N-heterocycles are analogously silylated-aminated, with reactivity in the order given in Scheme 4.25 [73] X=OTf is the best leaving group and X=NHSiMe3 (cf the transamination as discussed in Section 4.2.4) is the weakest.
