Hydroxymethylation of uracil (1), cytosine (3), 5-hydroxymethyl-2′,3′-O-isopropylideneuridine (5), 5′-O-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl-2′,3′-O-isopropylideneuridine (7), 2′,3′-O-isopropylidenecytidine (9) and 2′,3′-O-isopropylidene-5′-O-tritylcytidine (11) was efficiently carried out with paraformaldehyde in alkaline medium under microwave irradiation in very high yield.

A general strategy is reported for the preparation of C-5-methylamino- or methyldiamino-d4t analogues of 'different sizes'. Reactions of the 2',3'- didehydro-2',3'-dideoxy-C-5 hydroxymethyl precursor (7) with either polymethylene diamines (n = 6, 8, 10 and 12) or propargylamine proceed regioselectively via substitution reactions at the C-5 position of uracil. The compounds were evaluated for antiviral activity and cytotoxicity. No significant activity was observed for compounds 9, 11, and 13, but 10 and 12 exhibited a weak activity against HIV-1.
Insight into the chemical mechanism of thymidylate synthase-catalyzed reaction through the evaluation of chemical models: The role of C6 sulfhydryl addition during the reductive elimination step of the reaction

Thymidylate synthase catalyzes the last step of the de novo synthesis of thymidine-5'-monophosphate (TMP), which has long been a target for the development of effective anticancer agents. Model compounds (15, 16, 17) were used to study the effect of C6 nucleophilic addition on the reductive elimination step of the TS-catalyzed reaction. Results suggest that C6 addition facilitates the reductive elimination of the H2folate moiety of the ternary intermediate (3). Therefore, the reaction pathway (pathway (b)) with the participation of C6 sulfhydryl addition during the reductive elimination process is the energetically favored process. Consequently, the elimination of the cysteine sulfhydryl group from the C6 position is the last step of the reaction before the dissociation of the products from the enzyme.

6,5'-cyclo-2',5'-dideoxyuridine and 6,5'-cyclo-5'-deoxythymidine, pyrimidine deoxynucleosides fixed in the anti conformation were synthesized.The key intermediate, 3'-O-acetyl-5-chloro-2',5'-dideoxy-5'-iodouridine ( 12 ), prepared from 2'-deoxyuridine, was cyclized by treatment with tributyltin hydride to the 6,5'-cyclo derivative ( 13 ), then dehydrochlorinated to furnish, after de-O-acetylation, 6,5'-cyclo-2',5'dideoxyuridine ( 14 ).For the synthesis of 6,5'-cyclothymidine, 3'-O-acetyl-2',5'-dideoxy-5'-iodo-5-phenylthiomethyluridine ( 22 ) was prepared from 2'-deoxyuridine and this compound was cyclized by treatment with tributyltin hydride to yield, after de-O-acetylation 6,5'-cyclo-5'-deoxythymidine ( 24 ).Keywords - cyclonucleoside; C-cyclouridine; 6,5'-cyclo-2',5'-dideoxyuridine; 6,5'-cyclo-5'deoxythymidine; 5-bromo-6,5'-cyclo-2',5'-dideoxyuridine; radical cyclization; tributyltin hydride; NMR; CD
Process for preparing 2-thiouracil nucleosides

, (2008/06/13)
Some new 1-(2- or 3-deoxy-β-D-pentofuranosyl)-2-thiouracils and 1-β-D-pentofuranosyl-2-thio-6-azauracils have been prepared. Further, it has been found that the known nucleoside compound, 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-2-thiouracil is active against Herpes virus and against L-1210 leukemia in mice. An improved method of preparing corresponding 2-0-methyluracil and 2-0-methyl-6-azauracil intermediates is described. The method preserves the β-configuration of the starting nucleoside.
