5-Bromoethynyluracil and its deoxyriboside can be prepared in good yields starting from dibromovinyluracil, which is accesible by literature methods. 5-Bromoethynyl-deoxyuridine is less effective against HSV-1 than E- (bromovinyl)-deoxyuridine but, similar to BVDU, seems to exhibit a certain selectivity toward HSV-1. Molecular calculations prove the spatial similarity of both compounds.
