The chlorination of 2-halomethyltetrahydrofurans and acyl derivatives of tetrahydrofuryl alcohol wasstudied; mixtures of 2,5- and 2,2-disubstituted tetrahydrofurans are formed as a result of the reaction. 2,4-Bis(trimethylsilyl) derivatives of uracil, 5-substituted uracils, and cytosine are alkylated by the resulting mixtures of α-chloro ethers without separation, and mixtures of cis and transisomers of 1-(5-substituted-2-tetrahydrofuryl) and 1-(2-substituted-2-tetrahydrofuryl) derivatives of uracil, 5-substituted uracils, and cytosine are obtained. The reaction products were identified onthe basis of their PMR spectra.
