The reactions of the 5-bromo-6-methyl-2′,3′-O-isopropylideneuridines 9 and 10 with a number of nucleophiles in hot DMF have been investigated. With acetate ion as the nucleophile, either the 5-acetoxy- (11,12) or the 6-acetoxymethyl- (15) products can be obtained in modest yield depending upon the exact reaction conditions. With nitrogen nucleophiles (aniline or p-methoxybenzylamine) reaction takes place at the 6-methyl carbon, whereas with sulfur nucleophiles (thiophenol, thioacetate) only the 5-substituted products are obtained. |
