An efficient procedure for N-alkylation of pyrimidines and purines in the presence of tetra-n-butylammonium hydroxide(TBAH) is described. The method is very practical and the alkylation can occur at room temperature and the yields of the N-alkyl pyrimidines and purines were found to be excellent.

Methyluracil and 5-nitro-6-methyluracil react with variable molar quantities of benzoyl chloride in acetonitrile-pyridine at room temperature to give 1-N, 3-N-dibenzoyl-6- methyluracil 3b and 1-N-benzoyl-5-nitro-6-methyluracil 4b. The reactive rates of debenzoylation of 3b and 4b were investigated.

The reverse transcriptase of HIV provides a key target for the development of anti-AIDS drugs. The discovery of 1-[ 2-hydroxyethoxymethyl]-6-phenylthio-thymine (HEPT) as a compound with potent and selective in vivo activity against HIV-1[1] has led to the synthesis many new non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.[2]……

Cobalamin-dependent methionine synthase plays a crucial role in folate metabolism and such would appear to be an excellent target for rational antifolate drug design. However, to date, no anticancer agents directed at this enzyme are available, but the enzyme is efficiently and specifically inhibited by N2O and this has proven invaluable for evaluating the biochemical consequence of enzyme inhibition and for mechanistic studies. [1,2] 2,5-Diamino-4-oxo-6-(3-butenyl) pyrimidine, a key intermediate in synthetic inhibitors of methionine synthase, was first synthesized using γbutenyl-β-ketoester and guanidine carbonate (Scheme 1).
