Abstract

1 ously.'The general method gives good yields and was used for the synthesis of a series of the related pyrimidine derivatives (7, 8, and 10-14). A modified variation of this procedure was used for the synthesis of the cytosine propenal compound 2. Compounds 12 and 13 were prepared by substituting cyanoacetylene or l-butyn-3-one, respectively, for 2-propynal in the reaction. The reduction product (15) of 1 was prepared by using sodium ...
