10. Compound 5 was prepared from racemic 1-(α-methylbenzyl)uracil, via a [2+2] photocyclisation reaction with ethylene then hydrolysis of the heterocyclic moiety, according to Ref. 1, and was used as a single (racemic) diastereomer. Full details of the interest of this and similar structures in the asymmetric synthesis of 1 will appear in a future full paper.
