Abstract
6-Aminouracil and 2-bromoethyl amine were prepared, as starting materials to be introduced as an alkylating reagent with sodium carbonate as a catalyst. Acyclic nucleoside was prepared for the first time, the expected structure of the final new compound 3 was determined based on IR, NMR, and mass spectroscopy, with safe and mild reaction conditions. The synthesized acyclic nucleoside has a potent and efficient antimicrobial activity compared to reference drugs particularly as an antibacterial agent, and can be used as an alternative to the commonly used antibiotics after performing the necessary biological research for its validation.
