Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/jhet.5570340254

This paper describes the synthesis of acyclic, cyclic, and deoxy sugar nucleosides of 5-ethylpyrimidine, i.e., i) 1-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl), 1-(2-methoxyethoxymethyl), and 1-ethoxyethyl derivatives of 5-ethyluracil and 5-ethylcytosine, ii) 5-ethyl-1-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)- and -1-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)uracils, and iii) 5-ethyl-2'-deoxyuridine.
