Abstract
Treatment of the protected and unprotected nucleosides with 1, 3-dibromo-5, 5- dimethylhydantoin in aprotic solvents such as CH2Cl2, CH3CN, or DMF effected smooth bromination of uridine and cytidine derivatives at C-5 of pyrimidine rings as well as adenosine and guanosine derivatives at C-8 of purine rings. Addition of Lewis acids such as trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate enhanced the efficiency of bromination.
