It is reported that the diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBALH) reduction of inosine and adenosine derivatives (1a and 1d) causes cleavage of the ribose moiety to give the corresponding 9-ribitylhypoxanthine (2a) and 9-ribityladenine (2d), respectively. The substitution effect of purine nucleosides on

The reduction of tertiary phosphine oxides (TPOs) and sulfides with diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H) has been studied in detail. An extensive solvent screen has revealed that hindered aliphatic ethers, such as MTBE, are optimum for this reaction at ambient temperature. Many
