Acylation reactions can be done at the nucleophilic sites on pyrimidines using activated forms of carboxylic acids. Acylation of functional groups in nucleotides typically is used for protection during synthesis (Reese, 1973). However, for bioconjugate applications, the reactivity of native groups on pyrimidines is not as great as that obtained using an amine-terminal spacer derivative, such as those described in Chapter 27, Section 2.1. Yields and reaction rates are typically low for direct acylation or alkylation of pyrimidine bases, especially in aqueous environments. 

Ab initio calculations on aza-Diels-Alder reactions of electron-deficient imines with buta-l,3-diene show that these reactions are HOMO (diene)-LUMO(dienophile)-controlled and that electron-deficient imines should be more reactive than alkyl-or aryl-imines. The Diels-Alder reaction of r-butyl 2//-azirine-3-carboxylate (80) proceeds with high diastereoselectivity with electron-rich dienes (81) (Scheme 28). The hetero-Diels-Alder additions of imines with sterically demanding dienes yield perhydroquinolines bearing an angular methyl group. The asymmetric hetero-Diels-Alder reaction between alkenyloxazolines and isocyanates produces diastereometri-cally pure oxazolo[3,2-c]pyrimidines. °...
