Prebiotic synthesis of dihydrouridine by photoreduction of uridine in formamide† In this report, we show that a very common modification (especially in tRNA), dihydrouridine, was efficiently produced by photoreduction of the canonical pyrimidine ribonucleoside, uridine in formamide. Formamide not only acts as a solvent in this reaction, but also as the reductant.
