Our interest in 1-substituted cytosinesstems from a spectrum of intriguing properties of these compounds such as their ability to serve as inhibitors of deoxycytidine kinase, 1, 2 complementary base pairing with a 9-substituted guanine, 3, 4 interpyrimidine base stacking and asymmetric interbase hydrogen bonding, 5 peptidyl transferase activity, 6 and spectroscopic detection of restricted rotation of the extranuclear amino function, 7 and, more importantly, to serve as precursors to many highly soluble, short-acting, potent antibacterials such as sulfacytine (ie, 1-ethyllV4-sulfanilylcytosine), 8Our experience with 1-alkylation of cytosine9™ 1 11 coupled with the lack of availability of 1-alkylcytosines except by custom order led us to seek a better and more convenient approach to alkylation and aralkylation at the 1-position of cytosine. The published procedures for the synthesis of 1-sub-stituted cytosines sufferfrom a variety of problems—poor yields, multiple products, multi-step sequences, and/or isomer separation:(a) direct alkylation of cytosine em-
