FIG. 3.
The coupling of ribose 1,2-cyclic phosphate 3 and uracil and guanine provides uridine 2′-phosphate 6 and guanosine 2′-phosphate 7. (A) HPLC trace of coupling of ribose 1,2-cyclic phosphate 3 and uracil and its expanded view to show the formation of uridine 2′-phosphate 6. (B) HPLC trace of coupling of ribose 1,2-cyclic phosphate 3 and guanine and its expanded view to show the formation of guanosine 2′-phosphate 7 (N9-ribofuranosylguanine 2′-phosphate) and N7-ribofuranosylguanine 2′-phosphate.
