Abstract: | We have compared the pH-independent rates of glycosidic hydrolysis in a carboxylate-bearing 7-methylguanosine derivative with those of a reference compound and with that of 7-methylguanosine itself. A syn-oriented carboxylate group affords catalysis in the hydrolysis reaction, although the instability of 7-alkylguanosines above pH 7 severely limits the useful pH range that could be studied. The effect of the carboxylate near neutral pH can be viewed in three different ways: it provides a 3-fold acceleration as compared to underivatized 7-methylguanosine, an approximately 30-fold acceleration when the decelerating effect of the ketal group is considered, and because of slow decomposition of the reference compound under the reaction conditions, we conclude that the carboxylate provides an acceleration of ≥43-fold as compared to the protio reference compound. |
