5-Trifluoromethyluracil has been synthesized starting with trifluoroacetone, which was converted into the cyanohydrin and then into the cyanohydrin acetate, which was pyrolyzed to trifluoroacrylonitrile. To the latter was added hydrogen bromide in methanol, and [beta]-bromo-[alpha]-trifluoro-methylpropionamide was obtained, which was condensed with urea or N-acetylurea to give [alpha]-trifluoromethyl-[beta]-ureido propionamide or its acetyl derivative. The ureidoamides were cyclized to 5-trifluoro-methyl-5,6-dihydrouracil by refluxing in hydrochloric acid. Bromina-tion and dehydrohalogenation of the dihydropyrimidine gave 5-trifluoro-methyluracil, which was converted enzymatically into 5-trifluoromethyl-2[image]-deoxyuridine. The latter compound is incorporated into DNA, is mutagenic to bacteriophage, inhibits (in the nucleotide form) the enzyme, thymidylate synthetase, and is a potent inhibitor of the growth of Adenocarcinoma 755 in mice. 5-Trifluoromethyluracil under mild alkaline conditions is quantitatively converted into 5-carboxyuracil and was condensed with glycine and glycylglycine to give 5-uracoylglycine and 5-uracoylglycylglycine.
