For a while, I have been wanting to synthesize some DNA bases (Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, Uracil). Can you please suggest a few methods for going
about this?
I meant Adenine, guanine, thymine, Cytosine. For some reason, I thought Uracil was a DNA base for a second

Adenine is possible from HCN and NH3 only. Just need alot of patience.Sauron - 3-5-2007 at 13:57
I think you mean uridine rather than uracil. Uracil is not a nucleoside; uridine is.matei - 4-5-2007 at 09:42
These are the classic syntheses of DNA bases:

Sorry, the image seems to be quite big (900 kb or so).jtkelectroman - 4-5-2007 at 11:21

I beleive I have a somewhat detailed synthesis of this in a book of mine. The synthesis deals with ring formation from HCN and NH3
