“…The structural formulas of the compounds studied are contained in Figure 1. sured in the uv region for 2',3',5,-trideoxyadenosine (I), 2', 3', 5 '-trideoxy-2', 3 '-didehydroadenosine (II), adenosine (III), 2',3 '-dideoxy-2 ',3'-didehydroadenosine (IV), 6-amino-9-(5'-S-ethyl-5'-thio-2',3',5'-trideoxy-2', 3 '-didehydro-^-D-^Zycero-pentofuranosyOpurine (V), and adenosine 5 '-monophosphate (VI), which are typical of the compounds studied and which will be emphasized in the Theory and Discussion sections. Among these compounds are three unsaturated furano-syládenine nucleosides.…”
