Procedure
A solution of 3-(8-nonenyl)-1-methylthymine (2.63 g, 9.9 mmol), prepared above, 4-methylmorpholine-N oxide (1.39 g, 12 mmol), and potassium osmate (IV) dihydrate (7 mg, 2×10-5 mol) in acetone (20 ml) and water (10 ml) was stirred for 18 hours. After addition of a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrosulfite (10 ml) and 15 minutes of stirring, the reaction mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (50 ml) and with two 50 ml aliquots of dichloromethane/20% methanol. The combined organic layers were washed with water (15 ml) and saturated aqueous salt solution (15 ml), and then dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under vacuum, leaving a white solid residue. Recrystallization of the solid in ethanol yielded 2.68 g of 3-(8,9-dihydroxynonyl)-1-methylthymine (91% yield).
