<p>NEW MATERIAL:Arabinofuranosyl-5-alkylthiouracil of formula I (R1 is lower alkyl; R2 is H or acyl). EXAMPLE:2',3',5'-Tri-O-acetylarabinofuranosyl-5-methylthiouracyl. USE:They are expected as an antiviral agent or reagent for biochemical tests. PREPARATION:2',3',5'-Tri-O-acylarabinofuranosyl-5-thiocyanatouracyl of formula II (R3 is acyl) is reduced with a mercapto compound as beta-mercaptoethanol, alkylated with an alkylating agent as methyl iodide, when necessary, removed the protecting groups, thus giving the compound of formula I. In another way, 5-alkylthiouridine of formula III is ring closed to form 2,2'-cyclo-5-alkylthiouridine, which is hydrolyzed to give the compound of formula I (R2 is H).</p> |
