Benzoyl chloride → N-[5-(5-Ethyl-2,4-dioxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrimidin-1-yl)-3-hydroxy-tetrahydro-furan-2-ylmethyl]-benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

140 mg of benzoyl chloride were added to a solution of 255 mg of 5'-amino-2',5'-dideoxy-5-ethyluridine in 3 ml of 0.33M sodium hydroxide solution and the mixture was shaken vigorously for 5 minutes. The mixture was filtered and the solid was washed with 5 ml of water and 5 ml of diethyl ether, and recrystallized from ethanol to give 140 mg of 5'-benzamido-2',5'-dideoxy-5-ethyluridine of melting point 246°-247° C.
