Synthesis of 2'-deoxyguanosine-C8 adducts (dG-C8 adducts) with mutagenic/carcinogenic heterocyclicamines (HCAs) was achieved via the Buchwald-Hartwig arylamination reaction. By using tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (Pd

C, we obtainedderivatives of dG-C8 adducts with 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-

b]indole (Trp-P-1),2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-
f]quinoxaline (MeIQx), and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-
b]pyridine (PhIP) in 69%~97% yield from the cross-coupling of an 8-bromodeoxyguanosine derivative.In the case of PhIP, it was found that dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was the critical solvent for thearylamination reaction. Subsequent deprotection of the resulting dG-C8 adduct derivatives yieldedauthentic samples of dG-C8 adducts with HCAs. The dG-C8-PhIP adduct was further converted intoa suitably protected phosphoramidite derivative for automated DNA synthesis. Synthesis of oligonucleotideswherein PhIP adducted on each G within a triple G sequence in codon 869 (TCC GGG AAC) of rat
Apcgenes was performed with a modification in the coupling time and deprotection procedures.
