5-Substituted S 2-alkyl-2-thiouracils 1a-i were treated with 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane and ammonium sulfate at reflux temperature and condensed with 1,2,3,5-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-ribufuranose in acetonitrile using trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate as a catalyst to afford the corresponding protected nucleosides 2a-i which were deprotected with saturated ammonia in methanol. When the nucleobase was substituted with ethoxycarbonyl or cyano groups in the 5-position or was unsubstituted, the deprotection reaction of the nucleoside also resulted in replacement of the methylthio group. This was not observed with 5-alkyl and 5-methoxy substituents.
