Palladium-catalyzed C–H olefination of uridine, deoxyuridine, uridine monophosphate and uridine analogues†
Abstract
The palladium-catalyzed oxidative C–H olefinations of uridine, deoxyuridine, uridine monophosphate and uridine analogues are reported herein. This protocol provides an efficient, atom-economic and environmentally friendly approach to the synthesis of biologically important C5-alkene modified uracil/uridine-containing derivatives and pharmaceutical candidates.
