Abstract
Abstract The short syntheses of the (±)-1-cyano-2-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopropyl derivatives and the related (±)-2,3-methanobutyrolactone-2-yl derivatives of uracil, thymine and cytosine are described. The key step is the condensation of an N-cyanomethyl-pyrimidinedione base with epibromohydrin.
