✦ Synopsis


The deprotonation of oxete by ether solvated methyl lithium was investigated by geometry optimization of reactants, transition states and products using the density functional theory (DFT) method (B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p)). The calculations suggest that allylic deprotonation is favored over the corresponding vinylic process by 1.5 kcal/mol in the transition structures and 1.7 kcal/mol in the products. This is in contrast to previous calculations of products (MP2/6-31++G(d,p)//HF/6-31++G(d,p)) that favored vinylic deprotonation.

## Abstract Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation is an epigenetic phenomenon, which adds methyl groups into DNA. This study reveals methylation of a nucleoside antibiotic drug 1‐(β‐D‐ribofuranosyl)‐2‐pyrimidinone (zebularine or zeb) with respect to its methylated analog, 1‐(β‐D‐ribofuranosyl)‐5‐
