Abstract
6‐Benzyl‐5‐phenyluracil (4) and 5,6‐dibenzyluracil (9) were synthesised from diphenyl acetone (1) and ethyl 3‐oxo‐4‐phenylbutyrate (6), respectively. The uracils were alkylated to afford the 1‐alkoxymethyl‐uracils 5, 10 and 11. Furthermore, S‐alkylated dihydroalkoxybenzyloxopyrimidine (S‐DABO) analogues were prepared by alkylating 5,6‐dibenzyl‐2‐thiouracil (8) on sulfur to yield compounds 12a‐f. All compounds were tested for their inhibition of HIV‐1 reverse transcriptase, and moderate activity was found for 6‐benzyl‐1‐(ethoxymethyl)‐5‐phenyluracil (5).
