title: Reactions of 5-bromo substituted pyrimidine nucleosides with aqueous alkalies: kinetics and mechanisms.
abstract: Kinetics for the parallel and consecutive steps of the reactions of 5-bromocytidine, 5-bromouridine and its 5'-O-methyl and 2',3'-O-isopropylidene derivatives with aqueous alkalies were studied by LC. The mechanisms of the partial reactions involved are discussed.
