Abstract

Preparative synthesis of dinucleoside monophosphates, catalyzed by ribonuclease A, is described. Uridine 2',3' -cyclic phosphate was used as a donor, the acceptors being uridine (Ia), N3-methyl-uridine (Ib), 5-methyluridine (Ic), 6-methyluridine (Id), 3-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)uracil (IIa), 1-methyl-3-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)uracil (IIb), 6-azauridine (III) and 6-methyl-2'-deoxyuridine (IV). The obtained compounds of the type UpN (where N is the nucleoside moiety I-IV) were characterized by paper chromatography, electrophoresis and UV-spectra.
