A general synthetic approach for the synthesis of 15N- and 17O-doubly labelled pyrimidine nucleosides is described. The 15N isotopes in uridine and the 17O isotope in the urea-derived carbonyl group of uridine and cytidine originate from (15N2)[17O]urea (5) which was synthesized from 15NH4Cl, thiophosgene (1), and H2[17O]. The third 15N isotope of cytidine in 4-position stems from the substitution of the 1,2,4-triazole moiety of (15N2)[O2-17O]uridine derivative 8a/b with 15NH4OH. Hydrolysis of the same key intermediate 8a/b with Na[17O]H/H2[17O] introduced the second 17O isotope into the 4-position of uridine. The 15N- and 17O-NMR spectra of the target compounds 12 and 14 in phosphate-buffered H2O serve as references for heteronuclear NMR spectra of labelled RNA fragments.
