20. DBU was preferred to other commonly used bases, such as NaH or LiH, because not strictly anhydrous conditions were required.
21. After chromatographic purification a UV detectable byproduct was also isolated (10% yield): complete NMR characterization (COSY, HMBC, HSQC-TOCSY) unambiguously determined its structure as the bis-alkylated thymine, corresponding to the molecule reported below:{A figure is presented}.

25. During the reaction, an inseparable mixture of two products was formed (TLC). Although an unambiguous identification of the structure was not possible, a second alkylation on the nucleobase moiety is assumed to have occurred, as already reported elsewhere [see Ref. 21].
