The synthesis of 5-methylaminomethyl-2-thiouridine (1), a rare nucleoside from t-RNA, starting from the appropriate 2-thiouracil and ribose derivatives is described.During the silyl Hilbert-Johnson nucleoside synthesis with silver perchlorate the tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) aminoprotecting group in the 2-thiouracil moiety is removed.This cleavage is due to the intermediate formation of trimethylsilyl perchlorate.Preparative applications of this new type of Lewis acids are mentioned.
