Abstract

Photocycloadditions of 2', 3', 5'-triacetyluridine to tetramethylethylene, isopropenyl acetate, 1, 1-diethoxyethylene, and vinylene carbonate are described. The rearrangement of the vinylene carbonate adduct to 2', 3', 5'-triacetyl-5-formylmethyluridine followed by oxidation to the 5-carboxymethyl or decarbonylation to the 5-methyl (ribothymidine) derivative is also described.
