✦ Synopsis
5-(1-Hydroxyethyl)uracil, prepared by the reduction of 5-acetyluracil with sodium borohydride, has been dehydrated with formic acid to give 5-vinyluracil and a dimer of 5-vinyluracil, trans 1,3-bis (uracil-5-yl)but-l-ene. These compounds have also been prepared with a tritium label in an identified position and with a high specific activity such that their incorporation into nucleic acids can be monitored.

## Abstract The synthesis of 5‐[^3^H‐ethynyl]uracil and 5‐acetyl[6‐^3^H]uracil in good yield and of a medium specific activity ( > 40 mCi/mmol) is described. The compounds are necessary for following the incorporation of these and other derived 5‐substituted uracils into DNA and also for studying t
Novel 1-(dihydroxypropyl)-5-substituted uracils were synthesized in the reaction of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-substituted uracil derivatives with appropriate aminopropanediols under mild conditions. In the case of 3-amino-1,2-propanediol both racemic and enantiomerically enriched products were obtained. T
The d-allo-and l-talo-hept-6-ynofuranosyluracil-derived phosphoramidites 11A and 11T were prepared in 9 ± 10% yield over eight steps from the previously described propargylic alcohols 1A and 1T, respectively. The corresponding nucleotides were incorporated into rU 14 by standard solid-phase synthesi
