Abstract

Sugar-peracetylated 1-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-, 1-(β-D-galactopyranosyl)-, and 1-(β-D-xylopyranosyl)-6-aryl-5-cyano-2-thiouracils 2-4 and the corresponding 1-pyranosyl-2-(pyranosylthio)pyrimidines 5-7 undergo efficient ammonolysis (NH3/MeOH, 0→23°C, 16 h) to give the corresponding 1-(β-D- pyranosyl)-6-aryl-5-cyano-2-thiocytosines.
