Abstract
Abstract 5-(1-Hydroxyethyl)uracil, prepared by the reduction of 5-acetyluracilwith 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-1-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.
