Participants

Reaction Steps

7.24 g of 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-vinyl-1,3,2dioxaborolan (46.4 mmol), 10.00 g of 5-iodocytosine (42.2 mmol), 1.11 g of triphenylphosphine (14.2 mmol), 1.05 g of Pd2dba3.CHCl3 (1.1 mmol) and 15.1 ml tributylamine (63.3 mmol) in 200 ml of methanol were heated to reflux for 28 hours. After cooling the suspension to room temperature the crude product was filtered off and washed with methylene chloride. Crystallisation from boiling methanol gave 3.9 g (61%) of 5-vinylcytosine as white crystals, m.p. >290° C., MS (EI-MS): (m/z) 137 [M+H]+. 1H-NMR (250 MHz, D6-DMSO): 5.03 (1H, d, J=11.0), 5.45 (1H, d, J=17.3), 6.52 (1H, dd, J=17.3, 11.0), 6.8-7.2 (3H, br), 7.56 (1H, s).
