A versatile strategy for the O4-protection and modification of the lactam function of uridine and uridylic acid.
A set of O4-aryl groups has been proposed which can both protect the lactam functions of uridine from electrophilic attacks during nucleic acid synthesis, and also serve as a good leaving group for site-specific modification at C4, under a nucleophilic reaction condition.
