Abstract
Adenine (7 and 16), thymine (9a and 18a), and 5-fluorouracil (9b and 18b) involving f-2, c-3-bishydroxymethyl-r-1-cyclopropylmethyl- and t-2 t-3-bishydroxymethyl-r-1-cyclopropylmethyl residues were synthesized, starting from trans-1, 4-dibenzyloxy-2-butene and its cis isomer, respectively. These compounds were evaluated for anti HSV-1 activity.
