Abstract

N, N-Dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine, glycine amide and p-methylthioaniline were condensed with uridine 5'-phosphate and the phosphoramidates obtained were tested for their stability in anhydrous pyridine, 50% aqueous pyridine or 80% acetic acid. The p-methylthioanilidate (IIc) was oxidized to give p-methylsulfoxylanilidate of uridine 5'-phosphate (IId) which was found to be 5 times more stable than the p-methylthio compound. The p-methylsulfoxylanilidate of 2'-O-benzoyluridine 3'-phosphate was condensed with the mononucleotide to yield the dinucleotide, MMTrU(OBz)-p-U(OBz)-p in 28% yield.
