Abstract

(E)-4-Thio-5-(2-brominevinyl)uridine/2'-deoxyuridine (8a/8b) were efficiently synthesized in an environmental friendly way from uridine/2'-deoxyuridine (1a/1b) that were first transformed to (E)-(2-brominevinyl)uridine/2'-deoxyuridine (5a/5b) via iodination, selective oxidation, and Heck reaction steps. The resulting products 5a/5b were then converted to the targets 8a/8b through esterification, thio-reaction of carbonyl, and hydrolysis steps. Two new compounds 8a/8b and three new intermediates 7a, 7b, 10 were obtained, and their structures have been fully characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, UV, HR-MS and X-Ray. The study of 8a and their derivatives regarding cytotoxicity was carried out by using 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) experiment method, and the initial findings suggest that (E)-4-thio-5-(2-brominevinyl)uridine/2'-deoxyuridine (8a/8b) would be potential antitumor drugs.
