Tautomerism, protonation and electronic properties of the base moieties of IA'-metamorphosine (1a), N2,3-ethenoguanosine (2a) and O6-benzyl-N2,3-ethenoguanosine (3a) were investigated by N-15 NMR spectroscopy. pK(a) values of the same compounds were determined spectrophotometrically, and hydrolytic stability of the N-glycosidic bond was studied at various hydronium ion concentrations. The base stacking ability and metal ion complexation of N2,3-ethenoguanosine and its 9-ethyl counterpart (7) were elucidated by phase distribution and potentiometric measurements.
