Abstract
2′-Deoxy-, 2′-bromo-, and arabino-1′-C-cyano-pyrimidine nucleosides were synthesized from O2 ,2′-cyclouridine. Incorporation of cyano group at the anomeric position was achieved by treatment of 1′,2′-unsaturated uridine with NBS in the presence of pivalic acid followed by TMS-cyanide and stannic chloride. Antineoplastic and antiviral activities of those compounds are also discussed.
