摘要
Periodate oxidation at pH 7 and 35° of low concentrations of 4-thiouracil nucleosides with suitably protected pentose moieties yields the corresponding 2-oxypyrimidine-4-sulfonate nucleosides. Subsequent H+ or OH- catalyzed hydrolysis yields uracil nucleosides, while ammonolysis with NH3 or methylamine yields cytosine and N4-methylcytosine nucleosides, respectively. It is suggested that the mild conditions required for these reactions are suitable for specific modification of 4-thiouridylate residues in transfer RNA. © 1968, American Chemical Society.
