1-(2,3-Anhydro-5-deoxy-4,5-didehydro-alpha-(L)-erythro-pent-4-enofuranosyl)uracil 4 was obtained by the treatment of 5 '-iodo-2 ',3 '-epoxyuridine 5 with LiHMDS in excellent yield. The pyrimidine nucleoside 4 possesses quite unique vinyl epoxide moiety within the molecules. The reactions of 4 with a variety of nucleophiles gave 3 '-substituted pyrimidine nucleosides without the formation of the corresponding 2 '-substituted isomers. In the case of NaN3 or PhSH, the corresponding 5 '-adduct was obtained as a minor product together with the expected 3 '-adduct. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
