Abstract:
A protocol for visible-light-induced C-H acylation selectively at the C6 position of purine nucleosides with aldehydes under photocatalyst-free conditions was established herein. This protocol allows the green, mild, and efficient functionalization of various purine nucleosides with a broad range of alkyl and aryl aldehydes.

Preparation of Alkynes: Alkylation Reaction
Alkylation of terminal alkynes with primary alkyl halides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide is one of the common methods for the synthesis of longer carbon-chain alkynes. For example, treatment of 1-propyne with sodium amide followed by reaction with ethyl bromide yields 2-pentyne.
