Abstract
In non-aqueous solution, diazomethane and diazoethane react with the O2, O4 and N-3 sites of uridine, thymidine, 1-methyluracil and 1-methylthymine. Diazoethane has a higher affinity for alkylating oxygens than does diazomethane. The relative ratio of O2:O4:N-3 methyl products is 1:2:16 and of ethyl products the ratio is 1:1:2. When the diazoethane reaction is performed in neutral buffered solution, the same proportion of O2:O4:N-3 ethyl products is found, but the extent of reaction is very low. O2-alkylation greatly labilizes the glycosidic bond of thymidine and uridine toward acid hydrolysis. All O2 and O4 alkyl 1-substituted 2,4-dioxopyrimidines are dealkylated in weak acid but the O2 alkyl group is the more stable.
