tert-Butyl dicarbonate (Boc2O) and ethyl iodide (EtI) reactions with uracil (U), thymine (T) and 6-methyluracil (6-MU) were performed following routine procedures in pyridine/DMF solvents and with DMAP as the catalyst. Among 20 synthesized compounds, a derivative of 6-methyluracil substituted by the Boc-pyridine moiety at the C5 position appeared unexpectedly. The NMR spectra confirmed the molecular structure of all uracil derivatives. Parallel quantum mechanical DFT calculations supported the experimental findings.
HSAB-driven chemoselective N1-alkylation of pyrimidine bases and their 4-methoxy- or 4-acetylamino-derivatives

The lithium salts of the conjugated bases of 4-methoxy- and 4-acetylamino-2(1H)-pyrimidinones 1-3 undergo highly chemoselective N1-methylation or ethylation when treated with methyl- or ethylsulfate (hard electrophiles) in dry dioxane, while the use of DMF as solvent results in competitive O2-alkylation. Potassium salts of the same bases in DMF undergo prevalent O2-attack. Under the same conditions, a similar but less chemoselective behaviour is observed in alkylation of thymine and uracil, where some N3-attack occurs. This can be rationalised in terms of the HSAB principle.

In order to provide a general synthetic method for carbocyclic nucleosides, regioselectivities in Mitsunobu reaction of purine, pyrimidin-2-one and their substituted derivatives with a variety of alcohols with a variety of alcohols were examined and found to depend upon both substituents of the bases and kind of the alcohols.
