Abstract:
A series of novel nucleosides bearing a 1,2,3-triazole moiety at the 2'-position of the sugar moiety has been synthesized starting from 2'-azidouridine and using the copper (I)-catalyzed Huisgen-Sharpless-Meldal 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. The reactions proceeded in overall yield of 52-82% and gave almost exclusively the 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. The 2'-azidouridine was synthesized from uridine in two steps, and reacted with a variety of differently substituted alkynes to give the desired 2'-triazole-substituted uridine derivatives.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
