Procedure
Uridine is reacted with mercuric chloride (5 mmol) at pH 5.0. 5-mercurichloride-dU so produced is reacted with acrylonitrile and lithium tetrachloro-palladiate in methanol yielding 5-(2-cyanoethyl) which is reduced by hydrogenation at 3 atmospheres in the presence of 10% palladium on charcoal in methanol.
