A qualitative hardness scale (N134) has been found for the conjugated bases of 2-methoxy-4(3H)-pyrimidinones 1-3 and applied to high yielding chemoselective N3 methylation, ethylation and benzylation reactions. Removal of the 2-methoxy group followed by a second alkylation affords unsymmetrically 1,3-disubstituted uracils.

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.
