Abstract
The nucleoside analogue 4-(alpha-diformyl-methyl)-1-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)- 2-pyrimidinone (5) was prepared from the corresponding 4-methyl pyrimidinon e nucleoside by means of the Vilsmeier reaction. The unprotected nucleoside can be phosphorylated directly with phosphorus oxychloride in triethyl pho sphate.
