Efficient Synthesis of 2′-Amino-2′-deoxypyrimidine 5′-Triphosphates

Abstract The synthesis of 2′-amino-2′-deoxypyrimidine 5′-triphosphates is described. The 2′-amino-2′-deoxyuridine 5′-triphosphate is obtained from uridine in four steps with 25% overall yield. The 2′-amino-2′-deoxycytidine 5′-triphosphate is obtained from uridine in seven steps with 13% overall yield.
