Abstract
The synthesis of N1/N9- (Ethoxycarbonylmethyl)pyrimidine/purine using as synthons for peptide nucleic acids has been described. Microwave irradiation provided the desired products by alkylation of the appropriately protected natural and substituted nucleobases with ethyl bromoacetate within 4–7 min in 48–85% yields.
