The reaction of acetyl hypofluorite (AcOF) with unprotected uracil and cytosine nucleosides in acetic acid or water has been studied using (18)F as a tracer.For the nucleosides in general two cis-diastereoisomers of both the 6-acetoxy-5-fluoro and 5-fluoro-6-hydroxy adducts were obtained, (1)H n.m.r. analysis of which showed that they all possessed the anti-conformation.The 6-acetoxy-5-fluoroadducts in the uracil nucleosides showed a remarkable stability and appeared to be interesting versatile compounds.They could be converted into their hitherto unknown corresponding 5-fluoro-6-hydroxy-O6,5'-anhydrocyclouracil nucleosides.For the cytosine nucleosides the 6-acetoxy-5-fluoro adducts were not observed, while the other cytosine adducts were found to rapidly deaminate at C-4 in water yielding the corresponding uracil analogues.Interestingly, even within a pair of diastereoisomers different deamination rates were observed.
