General description

2-Bromo-2-methylpropane (tert-Butyl bromide) is a versatile reactant in organic synthesis, facilitating the introduction of the tert-butyl group. It causes the massive deguanylation of guanine based-nucleosides and massive deadenylation of adenine based-nucleosides.

Application

2-Bromo-2-methylpropane was used to study the massive deadenylation of adenine based-nucleosides induced by halogenated alkanes under physiological conditions.
