K. Sakthivel et T. Pathak, ONE-POT DEOXYGENATIVE CONVERSION OF A-RIBONUCLEOSIDE TO ENAMINONUCLEOSIDES INVOLVING 1,2-HYDRIDE SHIFT REARRANGEMENT, Tetrahedron, 52(13), 1996, pp. 4877-4882
5'-O-Trityl-3'-O-mesyluridine on reaction with secondary amines produc
ed 1-(2,3-dideoxy- 2-N-dialkylamino-5-O-trityl- D-glycero-pent-2-enofu
ranosyl) uracil involving 1,2-hydride shift. The reaction proceeded th
rough the formation of 2'-ketouridine in situ which was evident from t
he formation of both the alpha- and beta- anomers of the enaminonucleo
sides.
