Synthesis of 3'-O2-(azaheterocycle)-thymidines

Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2000 Apr;19(4):735-48. doi: 10.1080/15257770008035021.

Abstract

The synthesis of 3'-O2-(azaheterocycle)-thymidines is presented from 1-thia-3-aza- 1,3-butadiene precursors (N-thioacylamidines). A variety of heterocycles is accessible using the dienic, the electrophilic or the nucleophilic reactivity of these thia-azabutadiene systems. 3'-O2-(azaheterocycle)-thymidine analogues are regarded as potential substrates to interfere with the DNA-polymerization process.
