(2S,4S)-1[2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]uracil is a nucleoside that is found in the form of a white solid. It is used as a high quality activator and novel ribonucleoside, and it can be used as an anticancer agent. (2S,4S)-1[2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]uracil has been synthesized to be used as an analog of cytidine in DNA synthesis. This molecule allows for the synthesis of modified DNA, which can be obtained through phosphoramidite chemistry.
