Abstract
2-(Thymin-1-ylmethyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran and 2-(adenin-9-ylmethyl)-3,4- dihydro-2H-pyran, were synthesized and, after acetylation of amino groups, were copolymerized with maleic anhydride in the presence of radical initiators. Hydrolysis of the resulting polymers yielded poly[(2-[thymin-1-ylmethyl]tetrahydropyran-5,6-diyl)(1,2-dicarboxyethylene)] and poly[(2-[adenin-9-ylmethyl]tetrahydropyran-5,6-diyl)(1,2-dicarboxyethylene)], which are analogues of poly(thymidylic acid) and poly(adenylic acid), respectively.
