Abstract

Modified nucleosides are vital in mRNA vaccines. We developed a contracted uridine analog, N1-hydantoinyl-ribose, HR, using steric shields to invert the regioselectivity of the classic Vorbrüggen reaction. We report synthetic routes and explore HR features such as acidity, stability, base pairing/stacking, and crystal/solution conformation compared to uridine.
