Achiral Nucleotide Analogs: 5,5-Disubstituted Pyrimidines Related to Barbituric Acid
摘要:
Achiral nucleotide analogs are of potential interest in origin of life studies. Four new 5,5-diphosphoethylpyrimidine analogs were prepared by condensation of urea or guanidine with alpha,alpha-di(2- [ethoxy-1-ethoxy]ethyl)malononitrile or alpha,alpha-di(2[ethoxy-1-ethoxy]ethyl)ethyl cyanoacetate respectively, followed by removal of the protecting groups and bisphosphorylation. Oligomers of two potentially complementary analogs have been prepared. Interactions between these oligomers appear to be weak in aqueous solution.
