Abstract:
The reaction of 4-(2,3-di-O-benzoyl-b-D-erythrofuranosyl)-5-ethoxycarbonyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-
-6-methyl-2-oxopyrimidine with sodium methoxide in metanol or sodium hydroxide in aqueous alcohol, yields, in both cases,
4-b-D-erythrofuranosyl-5-ethoxycarbonil-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-methyl-2-oxopyrimidine.
