dc.description.abstractAcyclic, achiral nucleoside derivatives 1b-e of adenine, cytosine, 5-methylcytosine, and guanine, containing a 3-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)prop-1- enyl group on N-1 or N-9, have been prepared analogously to the previously described thymine derivative 1a. In contrast to the adenine and guanine derivatives, the cytosine derivative 9 was unstable, and was obtained in a low yield due to side reactions. These include cleavage of the propenyl group from the base, and the formation of a bicyclic compound. The thymine derivative, although stable under neutral conditions, likewise underwent a reversible cyclization reaction (Michael addition) in the presence of acids or bases. The 5-methylcytosine derivative was stable under neutral and basic conditions. Four other nucleoside derivatives 26a-d containing a 2,3-dihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl) propyl group on N-1 or N-9, three of which are new, have likewise been prepared. All compounds were evaluated as antiviral agents against HIV-1 and HSV-1 but were devoid of antiviral activity.en
