Methylation of adenosine, deoxyadenosine, 6-N-methyladenosine and 2'(3')-O-methyladenosines with trimethylselenonium hydroxyde was studied in the presence and absence of copper(II) acetylacetonate .It was found that copper(II) ions promoted methylation of the 2'(3')-OH groups of the ribonucleosides but suppressed methylation at the N-1 position of the adenine rings.The metal-ion effects are discussed in conjunction with a catalytic role for Cu(AA)2 in the reactions.
