Reaktionsschritte

5-nitrouracil (10.00 g, 64 mmole), 1,1,1-3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane (40 mL, 190 mmole) and chlorotrimethylsilane (4.0 mL, 32 mmole) are heated to reflux for 24 hours. The solution is concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 5-nitrouracil bis(trimethylsilyl)ether. 5-nitrouracil bis(trimethylsilyl)ether (10.0 g, 24 mmole), dimethylformamide (50 mL) and iodomethane (3.0 mL, 49 mmole) are heated in an 80° C. oil bath for 24 hours. Ice water is added, and the mixture is stirred for 30 minutes, then extracted with dichloromethane (3×). The combined organic layers are dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound. An alternative method of preparing the title compound is described in Example 108.
