Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

After cooling 35 ml of tetradydrofuran to -70° C., 2.1 g (15 mmol) of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine and 15 mmol of n-butyl lithium were successively added thereto to obtain a lithium tetramethylpiperidide solution. Separately, 2.04 g (15 mmol) of 1-[(2-t-butyldimethylsilyloxyethoxy)methyl]-6-phenylthiouracil was dissolved in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran and added dropwise to the said lithium tetramethylpiperidide solution to react for an hour at -70° C. Then, a solution of 3.81 g (15 mmol) of iodine in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran was further added to the reaction solution while maintaining the reaction temperature at -70° C. to react for an hour. After the completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was added to 0.8 ml of acetic acid, allowed to warm to room temperature and distributed between a chloroform layer and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate. The chloroform layer was concentrated to dryness. The residue was crystallized from petroleum ether to obtain 1.835 g of 1-[(2-t-butyldimethylsilyloxyethoxy)methyl]-5-iodo-6-phenylthiouracil (Yield: 62.8%).
