Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2012;31(3):197-205. doi: 10.1080/15257770.2011.649330.

Abstract

This work deals with the synthesis of a new nitrogen mustard derivative based on thymine. To introduce the bis(2-chloroethyl)amine group to position 4 of the pyrimidine base, many strategies were explored and the desired compound was finally obtained, thanks to a synthetic pathway in five steps.
