Ai. Khodair et al., GLYCOSYLATION OF 2-THIOURACIL DERIVATIVES - A SYNTHETIC APPROACH TO 3-GLYCOSYL-2,4-DIOXYPYRIMIDINES, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 16(4), 1997, pp. 433-444
Reaction of 6-aryl-5-cyano-2-thiouracils 2a-d with glycosyl halides 4a
,b under alkaline conditions gave the respective bisglycosylated deriv
atives 5a-h. However, their deacetylation with ammonia in methanol cau
sed a cleavage of the S-glycosyl residue and gave the N-3 glycosylated
analogues 6a-h.
