title: An easy way to pyrimidine based nucleoterpenes.
abstract: The direct synthesis of N3 substituted pyrimidine nucleoterpenes from uridine, thymidine, and inosine with C5, C10, and C15 side chains and using DBU as the base is described. In all cases the reaction proceeded smoothly in very good yields (85-99%) affording selectively N3 substituted adducts.
