Synthesis of New 5‐Substituted Pyrimidine Acyclonucleosides.

Abstract Acyclonucleosides of pyrimidine were prepared by condensing appropriately silylated 5‐substituted pyrimidines with an acyclic side chain in the form of an acetylated haloalkoxyalcohol and subsequent removal of the protecting acetyl group in base. Also, acyclonucleosides with a 1‐ethoxymethyl side chain have been investigated. The activity against hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been tested.
