Abstract 6-Aryl-5-cyano-2-thiouracils (1a-c) were synthesized by base-catalyzed condensation cyclization of ethyl cyanoacetate, thiourea, and aromatic aldehydes in 45-52 % yields (Scheme 1). 6-Aryl-5-cyanouracils (2a-c) were synthesized by base-catalyzed condensation cyclization of ethyl cyanoacetate, urea, and aromatic aldehydes in 40-45 % yields (Scheme 1). 6-Aryl-5-cyano-2-(methylsulfanyl)uracils (3a-c) were synthesized by treatment of 6-aryl-5-cyano-2-thiouracils (1a-c) with methyl iodide and sodium hydroxide in water and ethanol at 60 oC according to the method described by Brown et al in 88-92 % yields (Scheme 1).Condensation of the sodium salt of the 6-aryl-5-cyano-2- (methylsulfanyl)uracils (3a-c) with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide (4) in dry DMF at 90 oC afforded 1-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-Dglucopyranosyl)- 6-aryl-5-cyano-2-(methylsulfanyl) pyrimidin-4(1H)-ones (5a-c) in 78-83 % yields (Scheme 2). Deacetylation of 5a-c in a mixture of methanol and ammonium hydroxide (25 %) (1:1) at room temperature gave the free nucleosides 6a-c in 88-92 % yields (Scheme 2).By the same way condensation of the sodium salt of the 6-aryl-5-cyano-2- (methylsulfanyl)uracils (3a-c) with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl bromide (7) in dry DMF at 90 oC afforded 1-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-Dgalactopyranosyl)- 6-aryl-5-cyano-2-(methylsulfanyl)-pyrimidin-4(1H)-ones (8a-c) in 66-71 % yields (Scheme 3).Deacetylation of 8a-c in a mixture of methanol and ammonium hydroxide (25 %) (1:1) at room temperature gave the free nucleosides 9a-c in 78-80 % yields (Scheme 3). GlucosylationGlucosylation of the sodium salt of the 6-aryl-5-cyanouracils (2a-c) with 2-acetamido-1-chloro-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-D-glucose (10) in dry DMF at 90 oC gave the desired 1-(2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-β-D |
