A number of pyrimidine acyclic nucleosides which are constrained in the anti conformation have been prepared via treatment of 5,6-dimethyl-2,4-dimethoxypyrimidine or 6-methyl-2,4-dimethoxypyrimidine with 1,3-bis-(benzyloxy)-2-propanone (3) to give 6-[[2-[1,3-bis(benzyloxy)-2-hydroxypropyl]]methyl]-2,4-dimethoxy-5-methylpyrimidine (5a) and 5b, respectively. Using acetic anhydride in DMSO, these compounds were converted to a 2-[[(methylthio)methyl]oxy] intermediate which was annulated to afford 2,2-bis[(benzyloxy)methyl]-8-methoxy-9-methyl-1H,2H,4H-pyrimido[1,6-c][1,3]oxazin-6-one (7a) and 7b, respectively, by using iodine in THF. Nucleophilic replacements at the 8-position and deblocking of 7a and 7b furnished the target compounds, 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)-9-methyl-(1H,4H,7H)-pyrimido[1,6-c][1,3]oxazine-6,8-dione (9a) and 9b, and the cytidine derivatives, 8-amino-2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)-9-methyl-1H,4H-pyrimido[1,6-c][1,3]oxazin-6-one (12a) and 12b. Compounds 8b, 9a, 9b, 10b, 11b, 12a, and 12b were evaluated for activity against herpes viruses and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Compound 12a was slightly active against HIV at noncytotoxic concentrations. All other compounds were inactive at the highest concentration tested (100-mu-M).
