Synthesis of a novel, optically active uridine analog containing a 1,4-dioxane sugar moiety. Synthesis of the corresponding dinucleotide

Synthesis of novel homo-N-nucleoside analogs composed of a homo-1,4-dioxane sugar analog and substituted 1,3,5-triazine base equivalents

Enantioselective syntheses from dimethyl tartrate of 1,3,5-triazine homo-N-nucleoside analogs, containing a 1,4-dioxane moiety replacing the sugar unit in natural nucleosides, were accomplished. The triazine heterocycle in the nucleoside analogs was further substituted with combinations of NH₂, OH and Cl in the 2,4-triazine positions.
