Abstract
Di- and trimethylthiopurines, which bear two N-methyl substituents, exist as resonating cations in which the charge spreads over both rings. Alkali hydrolyzes the methylthio groups in a fixed order, which for 3,7-dimethyl-2,6,8-trimethylthiopurinium cation is 2,6, 8. Hydrolysis of dimethylthiopurinium cations follows the same order.
