Uracil Nucleosides with Reactive Group at C5 Position: 5-(1-Halo-2-sulfonylvinyl)uridine Analogues

摘要

The transition-metal-catalyzed or radical-mediated halosulfonylation of 5-ethynyluridine provided (E)-(1-halo-2-tosylvinyl)uridines. These (beta-halo)vinyl sulfones undergo efficient stereoselective addition elimination with amines or thiols to provide Z-beta-aminovinyl or E-beta-thiovinyl sulfones tethered to the C5 position of the uracil ring.
