Abstract
A facile, general synthesis for a number of 5-substituted-1-methyluracils and cytosine which is suitable for the preparation of micro-quantities is reported. In contrast to other methods, the 5-substituent plays no role in determining the position of alkylation. 1-Methyl-5-hydroxymethyluracil and 1-methyl-5-formyluracil have also been synthesized by an alternate route.
