| Abstract: | Alkylation of bases group of nucleic acid, thymine and uracil, has attracted great attention. In order to investigate the intermolecular interactions, 1,2] and the photoreactions3,4] between bases group of nucleic acid, many studies were focused on the synthesis of bisbases in the formation of B-(CH2)n-B (B′) in which trimethylene was commonly used as linker. Thiouracil is an important derivative of nucleic acid bases, and it can interfere with the synthesis of thyroxine, especially in the treatment of hyperthyroidism and angina. However, to our knowledge, the synthesis of bisthiouracils, even trithiouracils, using flexible or rigid linkers has not been reported. Herein, we have synthesized eight thiouracil derivatives by nucleophilic reaction between thiouracil and varied bromides. All the compounds have been characterized by IR, 1H NMR and element analysis. |
