Synthesis of New Bis-Alkylated Phosphono Alkenyl Acyclonucleosides : (Z) and (E)-Diethyl-2-(3-alkyl pyrimidin-1-yl)ethylen-1-yl Phosphonate

Abstract

The E- and Z- phosphonoalkenyl acyclonucleosides of uracil and thymine were synthesized under Michael addition conditions. Introduction of an alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl group at the N-3 position of the pyrimidine moiety was accomplished using potassium carbonate in DMF.
