Bromination of 3-deazauracil (4-hydroxy-2-pyridinone) (1) gave the 3,5-dibromo compound (2). Selective debromination of 2 gave 5-bromo-4-hydroxy-2-pyridinone (3). Trimethylsilylation of 3 and condensation of the product (4) in situ with tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranose (5) using tin(IV) chloride as catalyst gave 1-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-5-bromo-4-hydroxy-2-pyridinone (7). Deprotection of 7 gave 5-bromo-3-deazauridine (6). Catalytic hydrogenolysis of 7 gave 3-deazauridine triacetate (8a) and deuteriolysis gave the 5-deuterio product (8b). Deprotection of 8b gave the isotope-labeled anticancer agent, 5-deuterio-3-deazauridine (9). Biochemical and clinical implications are discussed.

A modified trimethylsilylation of guanosine (1) followed by in situ replacement of the 6-trimethylsilyloxy group with ammonia at 150 °C gave 2,6-diamino-9-β-D-ribofuranosylpurine (2) in 92% yield. Treatment of 2 with diazomethane in the presence of tin(II) chloride dihydrate gave the 2′-O-methyl (3) and 3′-O-methyl (4) ethers of 2 in 98% combined yield. The ratios of 3/4 could be varied from 51:47 to 34:64 by changing the amount of catalyst used. Treatment of 3 and 4 with adenosine deaminase resulted in clean conversion of these 2-aminoadenosine ethers to 2′-O-methylguanosine (5) and 3′-O-methylguanosine (6), respectively, in optimized yields of 40% and 54% overall from 1. The 13C nmr data for six ribonucleosides and their isomeric methyl ether derivatives have been correlated to provide a convenient method of identification.

The availability of nonradioactive methods to label nucleic acids an the resultant rapid and greater sensitivity of detection has catapulted the technique of in situ hybridization to become the method of choice to locate of specific DNA and RNA sequences on chromosomes and in whole cells in cytological preparations in many areas of biology. It is being applied to problems of fundamental interest to basic cell and molecular biologists such as the organization of the interphase nucleus in the context of putative functional domains; it is making major contributions to genome mapping efforts; and it is being applied to the analysis of clinical specimens. Although fluorescence detection of nucleic acid hybrids is routinely used, certain questions require greater resolution. For example, very closely linked sequences may not be separable using fluorescence; the precise location of sequences with respect to chromosome structures may be below the resolution of light microscopy(LM); and the relative positions of sequences on very small chromosomes may not be feasible.
