Simple synthesis of trifluoromethylated pyrimidine nucleosides

Abstract
Treatment of 2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyl-5-iodouridine and 3′,5′-di-O-acetyl-5-iododeoxyuridine with trifluoromethyl iodide and copper powder gave the corresponding 5-trifluoromethyluridine derivatives; this is the first example of direct trifluoromethylation of nucleosides.
