Bacteriophage T3 was produced in a form that contained 32% of its normal DNA thymine residues replaced with 5-vinyluracil residues by infecting a thymine-requiring strain of Escherichia coli with phage T3 in a medium containing 5-vinyluracil. When 2'-deoxy-5-vinyluridine was added
A method for the rapid preparation of the thymineanalogue, 5-vinyluracil, in 83% yield from 5-(1-hydroxyethyl)uracil via the methanesulphonyl ester is reported.
